About Second Baptist Church of Greater St. Louis
Second Baptist Church is a progressive American Baptist congregation in Richmond Heights, Missouri, serving the greater St. Louis area since its founding in 1833. The church emphasizes an open and inclusive approach to faith, welcoming all people regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or background. Sunday worship features uplifting sermons by Pastor Steve Mechem and enriching music from the church's choir in the unique mid-century Sanctuary of the Beatitudes. The congregation values individual spiritual exploration, direct relationship with God, and active social justice work, with particular outreach to LGBTQ+ individuals and families, those healing from religious hurt, and immigrant communities.
