Second Nazareth Baptist Church

About this church

Second Nazareth Baptist Church in Columbia, South Carolina, worships on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. at 2300 Elmwood Avenue, with the service available both in person and online. A Bible study is held virtually on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. The congregation was founded in 1903 under the name Macedonia Baptist Church and moved to its present location a few years later. Its published history traces a long line of pastors and church boards, and several other Baptist congregations in the city were started from it. The site describes the church as "Purpose Driven" and committed to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.

The church calendar lists a women's ministry with a Fourth Friday fellowship hosted by its young women's auxiliary, a men's ministry gathering called the Man Cave Experience, and new members orientation classes for those who recently joined. The church's history also mentions longstanding choirs, an usher board, deacons, deaconesses, and trustees. The website's contact page lists a mailing address on Elmwood Avenue and a phone number for questions. Confirm service times and event locations with the church office before visiting, since some events are held at nearby venues.
