Worship Services

Worship Services

Worship is the focal point of Christian life in community. It is the starting point for education, fellowship, and service for people of all ages. Worship is the beginning and end of our communal Christian lives. In a service of baptism we are brought into the fellowship of the Church, and the finality of our lives is recognized in a service of thanksgiving and remembrance in a Christian funeral. Worship is the centerpiece of our corporate experience in faith. It is where we learn and proclaim our faith, where we sing, pray, and share our gifts from God with others. It is both the construction site and the launching area of our individual and corporate ships of faith.

As we gather to praise God we are strengthened in our lives together and nurtured in our love for God and service to one another in Christ.

Access

Second Presbyterian Church is wheelchair accessible. A ramp is located on Charlcote Road (Charles Street) leading to the Westcott entrance (look for the white-columned colonnade).  The elevator to the Sanctuary and Smith Hall, our fellowship hall, is located down the hall on the left. The glass door entrance on Stratford Road, nearest the Chapel where the 8:30 AM service is held, is also accessible.

Child Care

 The Second Presbyterian Church childcare staff provide a loving, safe, and clean environment for infants (8 weeks) through five-year-olds in the nursery on the main level during Sunday worship services.

The care of your children is an important part of the ministry of our church. The Christian Education Council supervises this ministry. All rooms are nearby and are well supervised and staffed by fully vetted caregivers.

Christian Education

Sunday School for preschoolers through 12th grade and an Adult Forum is held from September through May at 9:30 AM.
