Upcoming Events

Prior to 1860 slaves in Ypsilanti, Michigan worship with First Baptist Church. In 1860, eleven slaves organized themselves as the Second Baptist Church of Ypsilanti. This church has grown as the anchor in this community and from it has spun many other churches. We have seen growth in the community and growth in the lives of the people of our congregation. It is our desire to welcome one, welcome all, to Second Baptist. See more on our About page.

Connection, Commitment & Community!!

1. How do we move people through the process of being connected to Christ & the Church.

3. How do we demostrate that we care for one another & our community.

Our Services

Based upon our 2018 Leadership Retreat and ongoing Leadership Training we discovered a need to focus the ministry of Second Baptist Church. The primary mission of the Church, according to Matthew 28:18-20, is making disciples of Jesus Christ. We realized that our discipleship process was not well-defined. We prayed, studied God’s Word and have been working through the book Simple Church, by Thom Rainer, to develop a clear discipleship process.
