We love our college students! Second Presbyterian is only three blocks from the College of Charleston campus, so cars are not necessary to join us on a Sunday morning. Our church family also has a long history of being a church home to many students from MUSC and the Citadel, including providing host families for Cadets. We’re excited about the energy that our students bring, as they often take the lead roles in our community service projects and mentoring our youth. So if you’re in college or working on your graduate degree, law school or medical school, please consider making Second Church your Charleston church home.

Join us for worship Sundays at 10:30 a.m. - We’re a progressive, affirming congregation where everybody feels welcomed. Though we’re an historic church, we’re not stuffy. You’ll fit right in whether you’re in jeans and flip flops or dressed in your Sunday best. There are college students up in the choir and in the nursery on Sundays, so stay for fellowship on the portico each Sunday or for Second Sunday Lunch to get a chance to meet them too.

Journey continues to meet at The College of Charleston and The Citadel for a unique worship set followed by Q&A and discussion like that fostered at Second Presbyterian Church.
