Has anyone actually seen a "second baptist" etc? I have traveled quite a but and my experience is that they usually have some other name, like Fairview Baptist or Heritage Baptist. I am sure there are some who name them in numerical order but I don't remember ever seeing one.
Why are so many Baptist churches called "First" Baptist?
My experiences down here in the south USofA is the majority of 2nd Baptist Churches are predominately African-American-centric. Of course this isn't always the case but, again, in my experience that's what I've seen.
It's a shame, really since we're all family and race should not be a determining factor for fellowship.

Well, it doesn't mean "WE'RE NO. ONE!"
Good call. I wasn't thinking in that direction. What is the equivalent of the SBC in the north?
There really isn't a northern convention with overwhelming numbers in the north like the SBC in the south.
I wonder what would happen if people driving along saw a sign that said "Last Baptist Church"? I bet it would be full!
You drive into town and the "First Baptist Church" you run into.
Or, as George Wallace said once:
God Bless
Till all are one.

Baptist mega-churches rarely take ordinal-number names, at least not here in the north.
Baptist mega-churches rarely take the name baptist here in this area. lol
