Second Presbyterian Church

About this church

Second Presbyterian Church gathers at 11:00 a.m. Sundays for traditional, liturgical worship at 1936 South Michigan Avenue in Chicago’s South Loop. The Eucharist is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month, and worship is also livestreamed. The congregation explicitly welcomes weekly churchgoers, people returning after many years, and those who know little about Christianity; its visitor guidance does not prescribe a particular style of dress.

Children are treated as part of the worshiping congregation rather than as an interruption. The church provides books, coloring supplies, and fidget toys, includes a children’s message, and maintains a cry room with audio from the service for caregivers who need it. Beyond Sunday worship, Second Presbyterian describes its shared life through fellowship, study, art, food, prayer, service, and gospel witness. Its events calendar includes opportunities such as a group reading through the Bible together, while the online service makes it possible to preview the congregation’s liturgical rhythm. For a visitor choosing among downtown Chicago churches, the 11:00 start, monthly Communion pattern, child-friendly supports, livestream, and stated welcome for people at different points in faith provide more substance than the name and address alone.
