Join Us For Summer Worship 
Beginning June 22, 2025 to August 31, 2025, our Sunday worship Service
moves from the Sanctuary to Fellowship Hall.
Coffee Hour at 9:00 a.m. followed by causal worship at 9:30 a.m. 



 

The Next Big Thing

Welcome to Summer Mode. Every year following Father’s Day, the church enters Summer Mode. We move our Worship Service to 9:30 a.m. and have Coffee Hour beforehand at 9:00 a.m. Since the program year is concluded, we no longer have adult education forums, service opportunities, community gatherings, concerts and events. The choir and our music director get a break too. Sunday mornings are simplified, shorter, and smaller since so many people are away on vacation. We usually have different worship leaders, more creative themes, alternative worship elements, etc.

 

Welcome Back Sunday is September 7th, 2025. This is the start of the new program year, and we return to our 10:00 a.m. Worship Service in the sanctuary with Coffee Hour to follow. The best way to stay up to date with what's happening is to sign up for our weekly email. You can send an email to office@2ndchurch.org and we can add you to it or you can sign up from this site.

Second Church is very proud to be one of the first churches in the United Church of Christ denomination to adopt an Open and Affirming Covenant. In 2012, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the covenant’s adoption. The covenant was amended to become more inclusive in 2016.

Parking access is from Highland and Chestnut Streets.

​

Accessibility

​

There is a parking area by the 60 Highland Street entrance with a short ramp to a door leading immediately to the sanctuary. However, the ramp is steep and the door is heavy. Alternatively:


1. Park in the lot off Chestnut Street and follow the walkway behind the building to the door with the Accessibility symbol and push the pad to open. 

​

2. Turn left at the end of the hall and left again to enter Fellowship Hall. Go to the elevator on the left at the far end of the room.


3. Call the elevator and take it to the top level.


4. Exit the room and turn left to enter the sanctuary.
