Welcome to Second Baptist Church of Richmond, Virginia!

We focus on the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. We practice vibrant worship, deep discipleship, warm fellowship, and multi-faceted mission work. We uphold Baptist principles of biblical authority, believer’s baptism, the priesthood of all believers, local church autonomy, and religious freedom for all. We affiliate with Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF). We welcome all people to join us as we walk with God in the way of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit!

Need Prayer?

There are times when life is overwhelming, when all we have is questions. In those moments, hope can feel far away. The great thing about prayer is that it shifts our perspective toward the One who stands ready to listen. No matter what you’re facing, we’d love to pray with you!
