About Second Presbyterian Church
Second Presbyterian Church in Norfolk, Virginia welcomes visitors into a faith community characterized by joy, thoughtfulness, and genuine care. The congregation, numbering 90–110 people, gathers for worship that engages both heart and mind through moving music, relevant preaching, and reflective elements. Led by a Senior Pastor who also serves as a professor of religious studies, and featuring music directed by the Director of the Virginia Symphony Chorus, the church creates a distinctive worship experience that is neither traditionally formal nor contemporary in style, but decidedly joyful. The community emphasizes grace and second chances, welcomes questions about faith, and includes members across the political and social spectrum united by their commitment to Christ. Rooted in mission and service to others, particularly the hungry and unhoused, Second Presbyterian cultivates an intentionally intergenerational family where all ages grow together in faith.
