Who
we
are
We are a vibrant, thriving, worshiping community, serving God and Humanity, unified by the love of Christ.
​
Our mission is to strive to know Christ and to win, raise, and equip His people for service.
​
We are a historical church that opened in 1836. We have thrived at our current location since 1857. We welcome you to the traditional yet modern worship experience that binds us all in the love of Christ Jesus.
TOURS
​Take a ride on the train that traveled without tracks. Sit in the Croghan Street Station and hear the stories of runaways who, escaping slavery, rested in secret at Second Baptist Church before crossing the Detroit River into Canada and “Freedom.”
​Tours of the church are conducted by members of the Detroit Underground Railroad Historical Society (DUHRS). Their mission is to collect, preserve, and disseminate Church history through lectures, tours, and educational programming.​
The history of Second Baptist touches on three centuries of service to the community and is equally, if not more, important than our participation to the Underground Railroad. Detroit Underground Historical Railroad Society offers three types of tours designed to fit the various time constraints of our visitors.
Prayer Request
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
