Upcoming Events
“Show Your Faith”
Christian Education 2025-26
Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid… Let your light shine before others, so that they may see…” (Matthew 4:14-16). While faith can be deeply personal, it is never meant to be private. We are called into community to show our faith in our everyday choices, our words, and our actions.
At Second Presbyterian Church, it is our joy and mission to help equip and encourage you on that journey. This year, we invite you to take our theme “Show Your Faith” to heart. Let your light shine in bold, faithful living. Show your faith and show up, just as you are: whether you are seeking to grow, have a heart full of questions and doubts, or you just need a little fuel for your flame.
Consider the ways you are called to learn more and grow this church school year. The 2025-26 Christian Education Booklet is full of opportunities for you. May these opportunities for spiritual formation and growth inspire you to live your faith boldly and brightly for Christ. Show up this year and let your faith shine!
