In our journeys of faith, we rejoice and seek to serve Christ in the world

Let us not love in word or speech, but in truth and in action. 

JOHN 3:18

Serving our own

Whether it’s a casserole or a ride to the doctor’s office, when one of us is in need, we at Second Presbyterian are there for each another.

Along with prayer, our church community counts on the Congregational Care Committee:

  • To provide meals for members following medical procedures and new babies.

  • To give rides to doctor appointments.

  • To deliver groceries.

  • To send cards and make visits. 

If you’re a member of our 2nd Presbyterian community in need or you know of a member in need, contact us at the link below.

Gardens at work

We have two gardens on our church campus that partner with nature in fascinating ways.

Rain garden

This abundant garden in the culvert along Belmont Boulevard slows rain runoff. It features mountain mint, native grasses, Joe Pye weed and goldenrod.

Pollinator Box

Just outside the choir room, the pollinator box garden is spectacular during warm months, when it is in full bloom. It is home to coneflowers, milkweed, and achillea. These pollinator plants support bees, butterflies, and other little creatures that make the world go around. 

The Environmental Stewardship Team invites you to check out these gardens that are part of our commitment to God’s creation as an Earth Care Congregation.

The rain garden, working in tandem with nature to limit rainwater runoff. Look closely at the image above, and you’ll see the profile of one of the many squirrels that call our church campus home.
