Nearly three years ago, I returned home to Mount Pleasant after living abroad in the United Kingdom. I returned with a call to ministry laying upon my heart and a desire to find a worshipping community who could love and support me as I discerned my call. A dear friend of mine, knowing I was searching for a church, invited me to Second Presbyterian. As I began attending Second, I could sense the closeness of this community and the love each member truly has for one another. In June of 2017 I officially became a member of Second Presbyterian. In July 2017, just a short month later, I moved to Decatur, Georgia to begin my Masters of Divinity at Columbia Theological Seminary. 

    Whenever I come home to visit my loved ones, who are all still in the Charleston area, I love to come and worship with my church family at Second. We all hope to find a place where we will be accepted, loved, and affirmed and Second has done that for me. I am grateful to have found a church family that truly feels like home. I look forward to graduating with my Masters of Divinity this coming May and returning to Charleston where I can regularly attend and participate in the life of Second Presbyterian. I believe that Second is a special church, doing good work within our community, and loving and serving one another and others well. It is important for us to support this church with our various gifts in order to continue this ministry and mission of this church.
