Second-Ponce has ample onsite parking by utilizing our upper and lower lots. On Sunday mornings, our SPdL Bug (It’s a golf cart. No insects involved.) is ready to take you from your car to the church door.

On Sunday mornings, most people wear business casual attire, but we want you to be comfortable. As long as you’re wearing clothes, you’re welcome at Second-Ponce.

You won’t be put on the spot or have to wear a name badge. You do not have to sing along or give an offering. If you have questions, need prayer or are interested in any of our events or resources, a welcome card is available in the pew rack. This card is only used to help us serve you better and keep you informed of church events and activities. You will not be spammed but you will be welcomed.

Yes! Childcare is provided for children of all ages during the worship service. Children under 3 can be dropped off and picked up in the Nursery located at the entrance to the Kids’ Club. Children 3+ can be dropped off and picked up in room C3005 in the Kids’ Club. All Children 3+ are invited to attend Kids’ Worship. Children in the Sanctuary may leave with Ms. Allie or another volunteer during the Offertory.

On Sundays, just inside the church entrance closest to the parking lot (under the covered walkway) is a welcome center staffed with greeters who are eager to meet you and point you in the direction of whatever activity, group or room you’re looking for. For weekday or weekend events, we have plenty of signage and our church office staff are happy to help.

We welcome you to make a commitment to Christ and our community of faith! During the Sunday morning worship service, we provide the opportunity to officially join Second-Ponce during the Hymn of Response. At any time during the song, simply walk to the front of the Sanctuary where our senior pastor or one of our ministers will greet you with warmth and joy. If you worship with us via livestream or television broadcast, email or call Vicki McCaskey to set up a visit with a member of our pastoral leadership. We would love to begin this journey with you wherever you are.

Our mission is “Growing in Christ and community-sharing God’s love in the world.” As a church, we are intentional about both personal discipleship and the community of discipleship. We desire an authentic relationship with God and want to provide support and opportunities for others to develop a connection of their own.

Throughout the week, there are opportunities for children, youth, college students and young adults to meet for fun activities and topical small groups. Singles, seniors and women’s fellowships get together each month to hang out and have a great meal. As a church, we go on mission trips and serve our community by pitching in at school fall festivals and hosting city-wide family events.

SPdL stands for “Second-Ponce de Leon” and its a common nickname for the church used in conversation and written text. We pronounce it “Spee-duhl.”

SPdLU stands for “Second-Ponce de Leon University” and it’s an adult discipleship program on Wednesday nights. We delve into topical issues like the post-COVID church and the intersection of faith and science as well as deep studies of books of the Bible like Matthew and Esther.

The Community Wellness Center is our fitness and recreation facility located right next door to the church. It has a pool, indoor walking track, work out equipment, basketball court, personal trainers and more. The annual membership fee for Second-Ponce members is $70.

We do! Second-Ponce has a relationship with missionaries all over the world including those in Kampala, Uganda, Miami, Florida and Antwerp Belguim. They work with refugees and children in underserved communities.
