First Things First - Pledge 2027

Putting First Things First for God’s work is an act of faith, courage, and commitment.

When we pledge, we express gratitude for what we have and trust God to provide for our needs. Pledges also help us plan for the coming year of ministry at Second Presbyterian Church.

We are a growing community of faith. Every member’s support helps fund what we love about Second: worship, music, youth and family activities, learning opportunities, and caring for neighbors in need. Every pledge makes a difference as we work toward our $4M goal for 2028.

Legacy Gifts

“Any temporal possession can be turned into everlasting wealth. Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality.” - A.W. Tozer

A Legacy Gift is a future contribution planned by you to benefit the work and mission of Second Presbyterian Church. A planned or estate gift can be as simple as including Second Presbyterian Church in your will, or by naming Second as a beneficiary of a retirement fund or life insurance policy. Gifts to Second can even benefit you during your lifetime such as a Charitable Gift Annuity which pays you a fixed rate annually with the remainder benefitting the church at your death.

Click here to learn more about options for including Second in your estate plans, contact the Office of Stewardship and Endowment, or email Nancy Frick.

The Beecher Society is named for Second’s first pastor, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and honors members and friends who have notified Second that they have included a gift to Second Presbyterian Church in their estate plans. The Beecher Society gathers for fun events during the year, is honored at Church events, and receives newsletters and remembrances on special occasions. To join the Beecher Society, please notify the Office of Stewardship and Endowment that you have included, or would like to include, a gift to Second Presbyterian in your estate plans.

The Endowment Fund

The Second Presbyterian Church Endowment Fund was established in 1923 by forward thinking members of the Congregation to “continue and maintain a permanent fund… to carry on the religious and charitable work of the Church.” An elected board of Second members oversees the professional management of the Endowment’s assets, and ensures that the Fund continues to flourish to meet the growing needs of the building, congregation, and community.

Each year the Endowment supports the Second’s annual budget through distributions that provide for building and operational expenses, and funding for many programs including Lake Fellows, Footsteps of Faith, CenterPoint Counseling, Music and Fine Arts, the Don and Karen Lake Buttrey Northside Food Pantry, mission and education programs.

Supporting the Endowment Fund by making an outright gift, or by including a gift to Second in your estate plans, helps ensure Second’s support for the Congregation and service to the community continues for years to come.
