At Second Presbyterian Church, we believe that God makes the preaching of His Word powerful to the salvation of lost souls and the building up of the faithful. Listen to our latest sermon or browse our library!

We believe the Bible is the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, faithful in all it affirms, and without error. We believe the Bible is the only authoritative and sufficient guide for matters of faith and practice (2 Tim 3:16-17; 2 Pet 1:20-21). 

We believe every man is a sinner under God’s wrath with no hope of heaven without Jesus Christ (Rom 3:23; 6:23). We believe we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ alone (1 Cor 15:3-5; Eph 2:8).

We believe the Westminster Confession of Faith and its catechisms accurately summarize the Bible's teaching. While they are not infallible, they are a faithful exposition of the historic Christian Faith (2 Tim 1:13; Tit 2:1). 

We believe Christ’s church is governed by a body of elders called by God and elected by the congregation (1 Tim. 3:1-7). We also believe that congregations and their leadership ought to work together and be mutually accountable (Acts 15).
