Children@Second

The Children & Families Ministry at Second Presbyterian Church supports families with young children as they live and grow in faith. Children form an integral part of our congregation. They are not just the future of this place; they are the present. We seek to treat them the way Jesus treated children, welcoming them as children, not only as adults in training. We honor their questions and encourage them to wonder. We create spaces where they can experience God, not just learn about God. We teach them about Christ’s endless love. And we marvel as they teach us. If you’d like to know more about baptism or anything related to children’s ministry at Second, please be in touch!
