We are a Southern Baptist church located at the corner of Preston and Flamborough, on the far northeast side of Pasadena. That means we are just a short drive from Deer Park, anywhere in Pasadena, and even parts of Houston and LaPorte. Put it this way:, if you can get to Beltway 8 or Texas 225 quickly, you can get to our church in no time. For more information and a map, click the “Visiting SABC” button above.

While many English speaking congregations have relocated away from the northern part of Pasadena, we have decided to stay. We believe there is still a need for a congregation such as ours in this part of town. We seek to be a lighthouse for the Gospel of Christ both in word and in deed.

We work hard to make sure all guests know they are welcome here. We want to reach out to people from all races and walks of life. Many guests are impressed by the warmth and friendliness of the church.

If you have questions or need additional information, please call our church office at 713-472-0450.

South Avenue Baptist Church, Pasadena, was organized in 1954.  Pasadena's population at that time was 22,438.  The church began in 1953 as a mission, sponsored by First Baptist Church, Pasadena.  The Deepwater community was a small area then with few streets and only one school, populated mostly by young families whose principal breadwinners worked in the petrochemical industry.

There have been many changes in our community.  Pasadena now has a population of almost 150,000 people, and our church has a membership of over 1,300.  Our members come from all parts of Pasadena and Deer Park, and our mission is still to meet the needs of our community.  We call ourselves "A burning lighthouse for a coming Savior."South Avenue has an especially loving spirit, and we warmly welcome everybody.

In order to accomplish missions beyond the means of a local congregation, Baptist churches have historically worked together in Associations and Conventions at the local, state and national level. By working through these organizations, South Avenue extends its ministry across the nation and the world.
