Second Baptist Church

Dr. H. Edwin Young was born on August 11, 1936, in Laurel, Mississippi. He accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior at the age of 12 through the leading of his pastor\'s wife, Mrs. Gates.

Following graduation from high school in Laurel, Dr. Young entered the University of Alabama as an engineering major. Mid-way through his freshman year, challenged by an atheist in his dorm who questioned his belief in God, he began to seek God\'s purpose for his life. Six months later, he surrendered to the call to preach the Gospel, and enrolled at Mississippi College to continue his education.

On June 28, 1959, he married Jo Beth Landrum. Dr. Young\'s preparation for the ministry continued at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. His first pastorate was in North Carolina, and he pastored in North and South Carolina until 1978 when he moved to Houston, Texas. He became the pastor at Second Baptist Church where he continues to pastor today. The congregation has grown from 2,000 members in 1978 to over 40,000 members at three church locations presently.

Dr. Young was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention in June of 1992 and again in June, 1993. He is the author of many books including Romancing The Home. The 10 Commandments of Parenting, and The 10 Commandments of Marriage. Dr. Young\'s broadcast ministry, The Winning Walk, can be seen and heard across North America and throughout the world.

In 1979, Second Baptist Church in Houston, TX launched its first weekly broadcast of edited worship services on local television, channel 39. The vision for this broadcast was to attract local resident to the church, minister to existing members, and spread the gospel beyond the walls of the church. Little did those early visionaries realize the seeds they were planting…and the worldwide outreach that would grow from that simple desire.

In 1982, a local radio program emerged, as well as television broadcasting on a national network, which provided nationwide exposure.

Today, Winning Walk has grown into an international television, radio and internet outreach. The Winning Walk program and ministry takes its title from Dr. Ed Young's first book, The Winning Walk: Outfitting For the Christian Adventure.
