We are a Reformed and Confessional church. A community of Christians in fellowship with God (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) and one another. 

To be “Reformed” means to hold to the confessions of the 16th century Reformation. Second Street holds to the Westminster Confession of Faith and it’s Larger and Shorter Catechisms as subordinate to the Holy Bible but also being a faithful representation of what those holy scriptures teach.

We believe God’s promise of salvation soley in the name of Jesus Christ. We invite you to do the same and to come worship God with us.

“That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ . . . And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us” (1 John 1:3; 3:23-24, ESV).

There is ample parking along both sides of Hearne Street, on the church side of Second Street, and in the Post Office parking lot (directly across Second Street from the church). The photo below shows all the parking options.

Come as you are! The normal attire ranges from “casual” to “dress,”. The important thing is to join us with an sincere heart that you may receive the many blessings believers have in Jesus Christ.

Our congregation meets in the Sanctuary for worship on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. and on Sunday evenings at 5:00 p.m.

Services generally begin promptly at the stated times, but please feel free to arrive early, settle in, and say hello.  You may enter through the main entrance directly across from the Albemarle Post Office.

If you’re unable to join us in person, please visit our YouTube channel for the live-streamed worship service on Sunday mornings. Also, please visit our Facebook page to find more encouragement in your daily walk with Christ.

Absolutely! We love having little ones at our church. Our services are a blend of every age group, and we believe this only strengthens our fellowship.

While small children may not understand much of what they hear and see as we worship together (though they understand more than we realize), they certainly learn by the faithful example of Christians, young and old alike, who have the privilege of expressing their faith to the next generation. Everyone benefits!

We love seeing new faces (including little ones), and we hope to see you and your family soon!

We worship as families as much as possible. Your children are welcome and encouraged to remain in the worship service. We expect to hear and to see normal sounds and activities as expected at age-appropriate levels. We have a “parenting room” just off the sanctuary entry to sit with your child if he or she gets restless.  We also have a “toddlers’ nursery” for children ages 6mos – 3 years which becomes available before the hymn just before the sermon for the benefit of parents who may need assistance to enable them to participate in worship during the sermon. We are happy to answer questions upon your arrival

As we worship our Heavenly Father in spirit and truth, our leadership is committed to keeping the Lord Jesus Christ at the heart of our gatherings.

Our worship on the Lord’s Day (Sunday) is central to the ministry of this church. As we gather, the Word of God is given to the congregation through the reading of Holy Scripture, prayers, confessions of repentance and faith, expository preaching, the sacraments (The Lord’s Supper and baptism), and the singing of psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, which are both traditional and contemporary.

Through the Word, the Spirit of God works in our hearts to communicate that 1) God is holy and worthy of our praise and obedience, 2) we are sinners who fall short of God’s glory and desperately need of Savior, and 3) the righteous life, atoning death, and bodily resurrection of Christ are alone our hope of redemption and eternal life with God. By God’s grace, we recognize our sin, look to Christ in faith, and rest in the benefits of His life, death and resurrection! This good news of Christ — the message of the Gospel — is the emphasis of our fellowship each Lord’s Day.

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. — John 4:24, ESV

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. — Acts 2:42, ESV

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. — Romans 8:1-2, ESV

We want our visitors to feel welcomed, and we’ll do our best to greet you. New visitors can also take home information about our church that’s available in the entryway to the sanctuary. In addition, you may fill out a visitor card and drop it in the offering box, or you may speak with the pastor after the service if you would like further contact.
