The purpose of Second Baptist Church is to reach Northern Nevada, encouraging people to experience their full potential in Christ; by exalting the living God through worship, equipping the saints for service and developing disciples who love God, love one another and evangelize the lost through witnessing.

Matthew 28:19-20: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
