Our History
Second Baptist Church began meeting on January 25, 1905, as Sweet Hill Mission, a ministry of Arkadelphia’s First Baptist Church. Seven months later, the mission broke ties with FBC and began meeting as Sweet Hill Baptist Church with 23 members. On September 19, 1928, Sweet Hill voted to change its name to Second Baptist Church, as it has remained.
