Our church, Second Baptist began with the thought that the lower part of Homestead was in need of a Black church.  Clark Memorial Baptist Church, located on the hill was the only Black church in Homestead.  God touched a local preacher, Brother Prince Cunningham in a vision in 1904, and a church in the lower section of town was started.  This missionary church began with a few people and was located at 226 Sixth Avenue in 1905.  This soul saving station moved several times and had several preachers in its beginning.
