Second Presbyterian Church, PC(USA), Richmond, Virginia
is a dynamic, downtown, historic church, with a huge heart for mission to the city and into the world. We welcome all whom God calls into life, worship, work and leadership in this church without regard to gender, cultural heritage, skin color, socio-economic status, gender identity, sexual orientation or other life circumstances.
We are a Matthew 25 Church -
Being a Matthew 25 church means that we are actively engaged in the following ministries:
· Building congregational vitality by challenging people and congregations to deepen their faith and get actively and joyfully engaged with their community and the world.
· Dismantling structural racism by advocating and acting to break down the systems, practices and thinking that underlie discrimination, bias, prejudice and oppression of people of color.
· Eradicating systemic poverty by working to change laws, policies, plans and structures in our society that perpetuate economic exploitation of people who are poor.

We are committed to being an Earth Care Congregation and have taken this pledge:
Peace and justice is God’s plan for all creation. The earth and all creation are God’s. God calls us to be careful, humble stewards of this earth, and to protect and restore it for its own sake, and for the future use and enjoyment of the human family. As God offers all people the special gift of peace through Jesus Christ, and through Christ reconciles all to God, we are called to deal justly with one another and the earth. These commitments will affect our worship, education, facilities, and outreach.
