The history and progress of Second Baptist Church is recorded in both witness and testimony of those who contributed to the 142-year history. We briefly list highlights of the events that God has ordained, while establishing this branch of Zion.

In 1869, the brethren of this church began a mission and named it the Second Baptist Mission. This first church was a small building located on Mulberry Street near Meadow Street. In the beginning, there were many different pastors who led this church. Among the most remembered are the Reverend John Byrd, the Reverend Willis, the Reverend Sumler and the Reverend Joseph Thomas.

After the passing of the Reverend Joseph Thomas, the Reverend C.W. Coffey became the pastor. Reverend Coffey was a great pioneer, gospel preacher, and teacher as well as a builder. He was a great leader and the church grew. In 1905, the members were able to erect a small brick building at the corner of Mulberry and Meadow Streets. Reverend Coffey brought great prosperity to his membership and served his church well until 1915. Read more...
