At Second Presbyterian Church, we understand ourselves to be called by God to do ministry in the name of Jesus Christ.
While we nurture the needs of our members and their families, we also seek to reach out to our visitors and in response to the needs of those around us and across the world.
Second Presbyterian Church is a member nationally of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and, locally, of the Presbytery of East Tennessee. The congregation first began meeting in 1818, and has met at our Kingston Pike location since 1957. Education and expanded fellowship facilities for our 850 members were added in 1981 and 1989.
