Second Baptist Church Lubbock

What Second Baptist Church Lubbock does

Second Baptist Church Lubbock is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious organization founded in 1958 as a mission of First Baptist Church of Lubbock. Operating from a single campus at 6109 Chicago Avenue in southwest Lubbock since 2001, the church serves a multi-generational, inclusive congregation with age-segmented ministry programs including 2b Kids Ministry (birth through 5th grade), 2b Youth Ministry, 2b Adult Ministry, and a Music Ministry comprising choirs, orchestra, and handbell ensembles. The church is notable for being the first Southern Baptist Church in West Texas to ordain women as deacons in the 1970s and for its progressive, inclusive identity captured in the 'Love.All.Now.' motto adopted in 2021.

The church operates a portfolio of community-facing ministries and direct-service programs. Founded institutions include the Sick Children's Clinic (1961, providing free pediatric care to underserved children) and contributory co-foundership of South Plains Food Bank and Lubbock Habitat for Humanity. Active programs include the Family Promise homelessness partnership, St. Benedict's Chapel ecumenical meal service, Stephen Ministry (one-to-one care), the Jesus Fund emergency assistance program, and a columbarium for memorial services. Digital channels supplement in-person worship and include a Sunday livestream via Facebook/YouTube/Vimeo, podcasts, a weekly newsletter (Second Page), a digital order of worship, and a Digital Bible resource.

The revenue model is voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, with ancillary revenue from Wednesday fellowship dinners ($8/adult, children free), nursery worker payroll passthrough, and select programming fees. Worship services are free and open to all. The church is governed by a Vision and Leadership Team (VLT) and congregation, with current Senior Pastor Rev. Carrie Veal, supported by Executive Pastor Rev. Dr. Tim Lyles, Associate Pastor Rev. Krystal Morrell, and an operations team. The organization withdrew from the Southern Baptist Convention in 1982 and now aligns with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Alliance of Baptists.

• First United Methodist Church Lubbock: Another progressive mainline/protestant congregation in Lubbock offering inclusive worship, community service, and comparable youth and family programming to overlapping demographics.
• Quaker Avenue Baptist Church (Lubbock): Lubbock-based Baptist church with multiple locations, competing directly for Sunday worship attendees, families, and community visibility in the same local market.

• Redeemer Church Lubbock: Progressive evangelical congregation in Lubbock competing for the same demographic of inclusive, mission-oriented Christians seeking contemporary worship.

Regional players
