Second Presbyterian Church

About this church

Second Presbyterian Church worships at 10:30 a.m. Sundays in its historic Central West End sanctuary, with a simultaneous livestream. A bulletin guides the service and uses asterisks where standing is suggested. Child care, Sunday School, and children's music are available, and fellowship follows every service in Niccolls Hall. Parking is in the Westminster Avenue lot just west of Taylor, with street parking available when the lot fills.

The congregation describes itself as progressive, diverse, inclusive, and rooted in St. Louis since 1838. Its guiding phrase, “serving others and changing lives,” connects worship with an urban ministry of service, education, and community relationships. Music and Scripture shape the Sunday gathering, while earlier education activities provide ways to participate before worship. Visitors may enter through the Westminster front doors or the parking-lot entrance. Arriving before 10:30 allows time to park, collect a bulletin, and ask about children's rooms; staying afterward offers the easiest informal introduction to the congregation.
