Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church
Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church is a Baptist church in the Buckhead district of Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It was established in 1932 through the merger of Second Baptist Church and Ponce de Leon Baptist Church (established 1904). Its current church building was dedicated in 1937. It is affiliated with both the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Southern Baptist Convention (through its state affiliate, the Georgia Baptist Convention). The church traces its history to 1854, when Second Baptist Church was established in downtown Atlanta. Ponce de Leon Baptist Church was established in 1904. In the early 1930s, both churches saw a decline in their congregations and experienced financial difficulties brought about by the Great Depression, prompting the two churches to merge and relocate. Since the mid-20th century, the church has had one of the largest congregations in the Southern Baptist Convention. The current church building was designed by architect George Harwell Bond in the Georgian Colonial and neocolonial style, with inspiration drawn from colonial meeting houses and churches of that era.
