Second Baptist offers a user-friendly online portal called My Second, accessible at https://my.second.org. This platform allows Second Baptist Church attendees to manage their personal information and view their membership in various groups. For individuals in leadership roles within these groups, My Second grants access to a roster of group members specific to the groups they lead. Additional portal features include the capability to email group participants, update leadership roles within groups, and refresh participant photos.
To use My Second, you must register by creating a username and password, which is at least 12 characters long and includes an uppercase, lowercase, number, and special character. If a person experiences five failed login attempts within one minute, the person's login will be locked.
When creating your My Second account, the system will attempt to match the information you've provided during registration with existing records in our church database. If a successful match is made, you can view the details we have on file for you and your immediate family members. My Second offers the convenience of updating contact information for yourself and your immediate family in one centralized platform.
