Second's Impact
Second Presbyterian Church is a welcoming community of faith where Jesus Christ transforms lives.
Second's mission is to be a church for the city of Indianapolis and a charging station for all God's people.
Each month, we'll share stories of how our community is living out its faith.
June's Story from Second: Raising Walls Together
Saturday, May 30, thirteen Second volunteers partnered with Greater Indianapolis Habitat for Humanity with one shared goal: to raise the second floor of a home that will one day welcome a family.
The team installed subflooring, assembled wall panels, and worked side by side to lift and secure the second-floor walls. By the end of the day, the framework had taken shape. What began the morning as an empty deck was now a structure clearly looking like a home.
"We are honored to be in partnership with Greater Indianapolis Habitat for Humanity and their mission to help neighbors realize homeownership," says Lisa Enright, Director of Missions. "It was a wonderful day of fellowship, meeting new friends, and a great opportunity to live into our call to walk alongside our neighbors."
This build is one of 10 Habitat homes planned for the new neighborhood, each constructed through partnerships just like ours. At Stories from Second, we believe that ministry is sometimes named in sermons and sometimes named in subfloors. This Saturday was beautifully the latter.
We are deeply grateful for the volunteers who showed up to sweat and serve, and we pray for the family who will one day call this house home.
