Our vision at 2nd Presbyterian church is to be a welcoming, faithful, and hopeful community, following Jesus and serving him in the world.
The best place to start?
Join us for a worship service.
If you’re new to the area, new to church, or just looking for a new start, our Sunday morning worship service offers you the best opportunity to experience the love and grace of God in community and to connect with other people. We meet at 2829 Kingston Pike on Sundays at 10:30 am. you can also join us virtually (a great way to see who we are and what we are like before you come) by clicking the link on the home page or viewing one of our past services under the Resources-Worship Services tab on the home page.
Our worship is traditional but the atmosphere is casual. You will find people in suits and ties and people in blue jeans. The worship service will be joyous and reverential. We sing hymns, read Scripture, pray, and listen to Biblical preaching that connects faith with life. We strive to be sincere and genuine in our worship and authentic in our relationships.
Following worship each week we have a coffee and fellowship time in a room adjacent to the sanctuary. This is a great time to meet people and visit together. We encourage you to stop by and get to know us!
Not ready to join us in person?
We get it.
It can be a bit intimidating to come up to the big building on the hill. Why not join us virtually first? Check out our YouTube channel! All of our services from the last 4 years are there. Click on the most recent or scroll down to some random past date. It doesn’t matter! You can join us virtually and see what we’re about. Check out one service or check out a few. If you’re comfortable after that, then come join us in person.
Our prayer – whether you join us in person or virtually – is that you will experience the love and grace and presence of God through our community and be blessed by our ministry.
Find a place to serve
The thing about church is that it’s not just a place to connect with God vertically, it’s a place to build relationships that help us connect with others and grow as a person and disciple.
Whether you are a single professional, a college student, a parent of a special needs child, or an empty nester, there is a place for you at 2nd Presbyterian Church.

Caring for Kids
We have a family worship area in the front of the sanctuary where families can worship together. There are tables and chairs for children with activities that connect with the worship service. Parents can sit on the front pews right behind the tables if little ones want to cuddle during the service.
Families are also welcome to sit together in the pews. There are Worship Bags with activities for the little ones available as you enter the sanctuary.
We also have a nursery to accomodate children ages birth-6 for kids who want to play during worship or for parents who want to worship without their children. The nursery is in the Preschool wing to the right of the breezeway coming from the parking lot.
