    Join us for our Maundy Thursday service at 6:00 p.m. in the Next Gen Auditorium.

  • good friday service

    Friday, March 29 | 6:00 p.m. | Main Auditorium


    We hope that you will join us on Friday, March 29 for our Good Friday service at 6:00 p.m. in the Main Auditorium. We will remember the death of Jesus together in a service heavy on Scripture and reflective worship. 


    This year, our gathering will be a Tenebrae service, reminding us that the death of Jesus, the Light of the World, brought temporary sadness and darkness. Good Friday teaches us that Christ died for our sins, once and for all, and is considered the most holy day of the year.

  • kids world buddies

    Kids World Buddies is designed to pair children who need extra support during Kids’ World services with a buddy who provides one-on-one leadership and attention. Our Kids World Buddies ministry helps every child feel safe, understood, and accepted. 


    Buddies allow all our kids the opportunity to participate comfortably in Kids World services regardless of their ability and needs. Buddies relieve parents of worry so they can devote their time and attention to worship, knowing their child is well-loved. And the benefit isn’t just for the child and family! Buddies get to use their gifts to impact families in a powerful way. Second Church is better when we work together to help everyone become more mature in Christ!


    If you would like to take the next step, please fill out the Kids World Buddies form by tapping the button below. Filling out a form does not commit you to the ministry! It only invites a conversation. Please reach out to Kenna Osborne (kenna@secondchurch.com) or Tracy Thomas (tracy@secondchurch.com) if you have any questions.
