Church Introduction



“Welcome to Second Presbyterian Church!”

I welcome you to Second Presbyterian Church, a community of people committed to serving Christ in downtown Richmond, Virginia and beyond. While this church has a rich history, it understands its purpose to be one of building upon what others have begun in mission over the years. Our neighborhood is “downtown,” and we minister to the people of our neighborhood through programs of compassion and outreach. Please read about these in other places on this web-site.

We have excellent programs for children of all ages, as well as an outstanding youth ministry and an engaging array of adult-education offerings. Opportunities abound for those, who are looking for a “hands on” approach to ministries “close to home.” The church does have a promising relationship with mission partners in Malawi, but even in our mission efforts far from home, we value “hands on” ministries. Mission teams have traveled to many places for service nationally and internationally.

Worship at Second Presbyterian Church is vital, and we are grateful for an excellent music ministry. Come worship with us on the Lord’s Day. See the times and schedule for both worship and Sunday school on this web-site. It will be an honor for us to have you visit us, and we invite you to consider membership at this historic church with an exciting future.

Grace and peace,

Dick Neelly
