Dance Your Shoes Off – 2000+ Easter Flash Mob Dance

David Drinnon — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 18:38:01 +0000

More than 2,000 people from Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas, gathered at Discovery Green in the heart of Houston to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. The purpose of Dance Your Shoes Off! was to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus Christ in a powerful and celebratory way. Most importantly, each participant left a new pair of shoes on the field for those in need. These shoes will be given to local mission agencies, including Star of Hope, individuals all across the world through our mission partners and mission trips.

Looking Back to the Redesign of Second.org

A few months ago, I reported to our Executive team the impact of the recently redesigned second.org. Since its launch in late March, our number of page views have doubled…reaching as much as 2.2 million in a single month. Today, we have 3,261 registered users, 1,000+ of which registered within the first week of launch. Every month, our registered users send an average of 75,000+ emails to their respective community groups…coordinating group activities, announcements, prayer and care. We have been very pleased with the results.

Special thanks to our technology partners who help make this happen: Origin Design (for initial design, images, html, flash, and CSS) and RoundedCube for our CMS implementation, Google Mini search, and custom development. Last but not least….BIG thanks to our own in-house dev team. Great job gang!

Here is a short video produced by Origin that give a quick overview the new second.org:

Unfortunately, the video does not highlight the online community groups.

Blessed to Be a Blessing: Going from 3 to 5 Campuses

The following video still gives me chills. This video was produced in 2006 for the Second Baptist Church family to challenge them to give towards the expansions of three of our existing campuses and add two additional campuses (in theaters at that time). Today, all five campuses are thriving. It was an aggressive venture that has paid off in thousands of changed lives for Jesus Christ. We are all indeed blessed to be a blessing to others!

Second Baptist Church: Staff Blogs & Sites

David Drinnon — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 02:00:02 +0000

I occasionally get asked, “Who is blogging at Second?” There are several who blog, but most of them are personal blogs whose content often spills over into their ministry. So here is a list of official and unofficial blogs and sites of Second Baptist Church and its staff. The church makes a distinction between official and unofficial to distinguish between the personal thoughts and opinions of it staff versus the official positions, perspectives and views of the church.

Second Baptist Church to Host Regional Church IT Roundtable

David Drinnon — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 05:40:39 +0000

This fall, Second Baptist Church (Woodway Campus), Houston, TX will host a regional gathering of Church IT professionals called the CITRT (Church IT Roundtable). This gathering is more an unconference or a barcamp rather than a conference. So if you are in the Texas and Lousiana areas, come join us Sunday evening, November 1 and all day Monday, November 2.

More details to come, but in the interim read more about how we faciliate the Church IT Roundtable.
