Second Church takes seriously the baptismal vows to partner with families to help raise children in the faith. Children’s ministry at Second is vibrant, interactive and experiential as we seek to help children experience God’s transformative love. Watch children’s sermons here.

Sunday School @ 9:30 a.m. downstairs in the SPK hall with Mrs. Robbie and Mr. Ken.

Children’s Chapel @ 11:00 a.m. after the Children's Time* during the service each Sunday, for children 6th grade and under (+ youth volunteers). Children are invited to Chapel for a time of fun and faith formation to learn songs, Bible basics, and how worship is a continuous response to God’s grace.

Children & Youth Sundays are usually the third Sunday of each month. We welcome the children’s choir, a youth liturgist, children and youth ushers, and their help with a lemonade stand to benefit missions on the portico after church on these special Sundays.

*The nursery is available for little ones, but we ask that those who can to please start out in the service to join us in worship until Children's Time, after which children 6th grade and under are welcome to Children’s Chapel.

Text “@2pckids” to 81010 to get children’s ministry reminders and the announcements.

Throughout the year we host special events such as: 

- Easter Egg Hunt: Children from First(Scots) and Second Presbyterian come together at our church for a fun morning together.

- VBS: Community Vacation Bible School is in June.

- Homecoming Sunday: a special Sunday at the beginning of each academic year where we recognize our milestone years within the church. 

- Blessing of the Backpacks: the time in the year where we send our young people, and teachers, back to school knowing God is always with them! 

- Trunk or Treat: before Halloween we gather for an evening of intergenerational fun and fellowship for our community. Children are able to sport their Halloween costume early!

- Advent Crafts: this is an evening of crafts for children to begin to prepare and experience the Advent Season. 

- Christmas Pageant: each year our children present the Christmas story.

Join us on Sunday mornings and at these occasional special events as we help children experience God’s love in fun and authentic ways. Contact: Director of Children and Youth, Ken Carrington
