Mission Statement: “To Promote and proclaim the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.”

Our first place of worship was a frame cottage on the southwest side of Elizabeth and High Streets in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As the congregation grew the church purchased a site at 216 Beakes Street and a Church building was erected. The church at Beakes Street was torn down in 1951 to make way for a completely new building. We moved into the new structure in 1952 and served the congregation until 1980 when we moved to our present site, 850 Red Oak Road.

Our congregation over the years has had eighteen Pastors. Of our last three Pastors, Rev. Charles W. Carpenter served our congregation for 35 years, Pastor Emeritus, Rev. Emmett L. Green served 34 years and we have been blessed to have Rev. Mark J. Lyons as our Pastor since February 2002. Gradual growth over a long period of time has been characteristic of the Second Baptist Church congregation. We have a Church wide program of Multiple Ministry opportunities that every member can be part of. We also know that there is much work to do outside of our church walls and serving our community as also a way to lift up our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our church is grateful that God has been faithful to our congregation and will continue to let Him lead us through His Holy Spirit.
