Synopsis

The History of Second Baptist Church of Bowling Green, Missouri was written in conjunction with the 150th year anniversary ( 1865-2015). It was written to document the birth of a rural church born in conflict during the Civil War but one which stood adversities of numerous types but refused to quit or die as many others have. Second Baptist withstood members and pastors taking up arms against each other, families divided, lack of finances to pay pastors, the Great Depression, economic instability, disease, world wars, lack of pastors and twice the burning of their church. They have also seen the goodness and provision of God as they stressed missions, and the spreading of the Gospel to the ends of the world. God has met their needs and they celebrate to honor Him.
