Second Presbyterian Church

About this church

Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis worships Sunday at 8:15 and 11:00 a.m., with Sunday School from 9:45 to 10:45. The church also publishes a 6:00 p.m. service with childcare for children age five and under. Nursery care is available during the early service and education hour, while kindergarten through fifth grade meets in the KidZone at 9:45. Older preschoolers begin the 8:15 service with their families, then leave after the children's message for supervised worship care. Services can be watched through the church livestream.

Founded in 1844, Second has worshiped at Poplar and Goodlett since its current sanctuary opened in 1949 and has belonged to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church since 1989. Its mission—retell the gospel, reimagine the church and city, and repair what is broken—connects Sunday worship with extensive Memphis and global mission partnerships. Student ministry spans middle school, high school, and college, using Scripture, small groups, service projects, and mission trips. Children's choirs meet Wednesday from 6:15 to 7:30, and ministries also include special-needs support, sports, care, music, adults, and neighborhood-based parish groups. This is a large, historic congregation with a detailed family schedule and a strongly city-oriented Reformed identity.
