Second Baptist Church, Woodway Campus — Attraction in Houston

The chimpanzee with a Ph D. That's is exactly what Ed Young said in one of sermmons. I never thought that would be himself, but years later that is who he is. After preaching against Latino immigrants and dehumanizing a broken people, this church went from discovering Christ and teaching Christ, to political endeavors, now engaging in christian nationalism. After Biden was elected, we were sensored on YOUTUBE during a surmmon in which Dr. Ed railed against Democrates and went on full political rant denouncing the election. A few months later, DR. Young took the teachings into a different direction to include Cultual Warfare away from bible centered teachings. Before hand, most teachings seemed mostly of the old testiment, which i thought was rather strange considering we are learning of Christ (to know Him, to make Him known). Most Baptist brothers and sisters I knew where Christ centric. There are a few here, but Second is leaving that behind for the culture war. So what happened to the spiritual war of redemption and deliverance? Is this the great falling from the faith we are wittnessing here? Maybe! Another thing worth noting is that being Born again was never really talked about or mentioned in the 5 to 6 years attending. I guess this church is not to much about repentance when the word of God says" All have Sinned and fallen short of the glory of God".

On a different note, i never thought of this church as a prosperity church or a mega church until now. With a budget of $38 million and 6 campuses plus internet, it now into picture that this is mega church. A percentage that actually goes to poor and those in need is only .33%. Christianity or the faith in our Lord should never be about profit, but this church does seem to lean towards an accumulating wealth. Funny...most campuses just happened to located in higher income areas in and around Houston. Was this done by godly purpose and design? Very suspicious I would say.

Read the word and test the spirit of what is true and what aligns with His word. Don't be fooled. Don't go through that wide gate because everyone else goes through it. Study with diligence.

So my advice is to look for smaller churchs that are focused on Jesus and his Word. Jesus came that we may have redemption and be a witness of that to...

I'm going to be very careful with this review. I don't want to overstate or understate anything and some issues are more due my realization that I lean more towards a liturgical, high church setting and found I hold differing views on the perseverance of saints. With that said, this church might not be for everyone. If you like contemporary services, access to cafe goods before and after of find that your kids benefit from a great choir or other youth programs then this place is amazing. The members in the collide class were quite friendly and there is a lot going on there during the week. They also offer services in Spanish. With that said, if you prefer a more liturgical service then you'll be quite uncomfortable with the 11 o'clock service and the earlier, more traditional one still might not quite cut it. There's also the crowd size. Friendly as most people are, the size of the congregation may make things feel a bit impersonal. There was also a bit of pressure to commit that day, which may well have just been my impression of it. A few final notes, the pastor, Ed Young, is very vocal on his thoughts on local and national issues. I don't find this an issue personally. I even agree with him on a fair number of them, but keep it in mind. The campus is beautiful and fun to explore a bit, but be mindful of the construction sights. Parking can also be a problem on Sunday. I'll clarify one more thing. I don't think the rating system here actually does justice for this kind of thing. I posted 3 out of 5 due to feeling like a 1 would indicate that this church failed and a 5 would send the wrong message for others finding Christ again. A 3 still feels off, but it was the closest I can get to conveying my thoughts at a glance. So, to end this long winded rant, Houston second Baptist is great for those looking for a laid back contemporary services, semi traditional services, plenty of mid week groups and various youth programs. You might not like it if you need a more high church, liturgical setting and don't like...
