Serve Far

Christ calls us to reach out to those in need and spread the Good News of the Gospel. Members of Second Presbyterian Church act as the hands and feet of Christ through service to others.

Second Presbyterian Church has many service-oriented ministry teams, working within our church congregation, in our city and around the world.

If you would like to explore how to share your gifts with our mission partners, please contact Rev. David Berry to discuss how to get engaged.

    Umoja Partnership

    Second is a founding member of Umoja Partnership, an interfaith organization dedicated to transforming communities one child at a time. Formerly known as Global Interfaith Partnership, Umoja is a partnership of many faiths, from different cultures, on two continents, united in service to change lives by keeping children in school.

    In 2007 local congregations joined together to form Umoja to work with the Chulaimbo community in western Kenya, which was particularly hard hit by extreme poverty and the HIV/AIDs epidemic. Umoja means “unity” in Kiswahili. Learn more about Umoja Partnership.

    Chaplaincy Program

    Second partners with Christian Theological Seminary and other congregations to support the chaplaincy program at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya. This innovative program is revolutionizing the way pastoral care is provided to patients and families.
