Second Baptist Church

“It is our mission to look to the Lord through the Word of God to give us direction to green our Churches, our homes and our lives to the best of our ability. It is the goal of Second Baptist Church to work toward a cleaner and more environmentally promising future… In the future I would like to see our church with solar panels on the roof, double- or triple-pane windows, repaint our buildings with paint that is eco-friendly, and install rain barrels to collect water from our rain gutters. Finally, it is our goal that we educate our congregation to help them understand the many different facets of an eco-friendly environment, which will in turn make changes in their homes as well as their sons’ and daughters’ homes. We will be blessed by our conservation efforts by: 1) saving money, 2) saving energy on the grid, 3) and recycling our waste,
4) educating our community to make changes in their environment to make a difference in our children’s future.”— Rev. Wallace Shepard
