The Beyond the Walls Book Reading Ministry at Second Baptist Church is a spiritually enriching educational initiative designed to foster biblical literacy, theological reflection, and community engagement through guided reading. Utilizing a three-part curriculum—daily devotionals, relevant book readings, and sermon series—participants explore Scripture through a culturally affirming lens that uplifts the BTW community, challenges oppressive theological narratives, and nurtures spiritual growth. The ministry emphasizes dialogue, contextual Bible study, and practical application, equipping believers to live out their faith with purpose and justice in everyday life.
