Here at our church we welcome all students in 6th-12th grade into our Youth Ministry!
We encourage faith development, strong friendships, and inspiring mentorship. During the school year we meet twice a week for regular scheduled programming.
On Sundays we have Sunday School and Youth Group. Our Youth Group hours are unique and tailored to your age group.

Interim Director for Youth Ministry
Middle School meets first then the High Schoolers join for dinner and have their Youth Group time after dinner once the Middle Schoolers go home. On Wednesdays we office two small groups for students. A Middle School girls small group led by Marie Holder and Jill Wright meets in the library.
Then our High School small led by Maggie Kirchner meets at the Cove for ice cream. We call ourselves SPY, which stands for Second Presbyterian Youth.
We are a group of students and adults who have formed a family, dedicated to the needs and strengths of our people! We are grateful to God for the wonderous things happening in our ministry!

Miriam Project
I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
Psalm 122:1
We believe that we are called by God to be the body of Christ in our community and that it is our responsibility to create safe and supportive environments for all children, youth, and at-risk adults participating in the activities and programs of Second Presbyterian Church.
Our policies and guidelines for the protection of children, youth, and at-risk adults have been named “The Miriam Project” – in the spirit of Miriam, the sister of Moses, who is remembered for her protection of the baby Moses and her guidance as he grew to become one of God’s great leaders. As a church, through the promises we make at each baptism, we have accepted responsibility to provide sage and nurturing environments for children of all ages.
- Be a member of Second Presbyterian Church
- Complete an Information Form and sign a Covenant
- Agree to a confidential criminal background check
- Agree to adhere to the conduct required in the Miriam Project
In the policies outlined in the Miriam Project we have taken positive steps to provide as safe an environment as possible for the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of our children, youth, and at-risk adults.
