About South Main Baptist Church
South Main Baptist Church has been a part of the heart of Houston society for more than 110 years. South Main has a history that is linked to the expansion and growth of Midtown, as it lies between downtown and the Texas Medical Center. The church's congregation has been active in mission and ministry initiatives both domestically and internationally throughout its history, and it is recognized for its progressive attitudes toward issues such as civil rights and women in ministry.

The heritage of inclusiveness at South Main Baptist extends back over a century, and the desire to serve is felt across the seven counties of the Houston metro area and beyond. They are a thriving, multigenerational family of faith that gathers for traditional worship every Sunday and call on the Grace they've experienced to go out into the world in all parts of their lives. They, as a congregation, seek to be inclusive and distribute the love of Jesus Christ and God's abundant Grace to everyone. They also value questions since uncertainty is part of faith, and think church should be the most secure place to ask genuine, tough questions about life and challenge the answers.
