A Foundation of Worship
Worship at Second-Ponce honors God through relevant messages, music, prayer and Scripture.
Join us Sundays at 11 a.m. EST
A Typical Worship Service
The standard Baptist worship service structure begins with a prelude, followed by a litany or reading, congregational singing using a hymnal, Scripture, pastoral prayer, Doxology, sermon, benediction and postlude. Some of these terms may feel like “insider language,” so we’ve included their definitions below.
-
The introductory and concluding pieces of music at the beginning and end of a worship service.
-
A series of statements and responses between ministers and the congregation centered on a theme like praise, repentance, help, etc.
-
The Doxology is a short hymn of praise. We use it as transition music when children leave the Sanctuary for Kids Worship.
-
A short prayer of blessing at the end of the service.
Worship Online
Our 11 a.m. Sanctuary service is streamed live on Youtube and Facebook. Our Youtube channel also houses previous worship videos to watch at your convenience. We post each week’s Order of Worship online so you follow along with the service and read the church announcements.

Worship FAQs
Is there a dress code?
No. Most people wear business casual attire. It is the worship of God that matters, not your wardrobe.
What version of the bible do you use?
We typically read from the New Revised Standard version, but occasionally we we use other translations when appropriate for the service.
Do you offer childcare during worship?
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 C-3005 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.
How do I join the church during worship?
Second-Ponce enthusiastically welcomes you to make a commitment to Christ and our community of faith. At any time during the Hymn of Response, simply walk to the front of the Sanctuary where a member of our ministry team will greet you with warmth and joy. If you're uncomfortable being "in the spotlight," but still want to join–that's ok! Speak with one of our ministers after worship and they'll walk you through an alternate plan
