"Second Presbyterian Church is more than just a building in downtown Bloomington, Illinois. Second Pres is a congregation of people that exists to share the heart of Christ in the heart of the Bloomington-Normal community and prays that God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit will use the body of Christ embodied in this particular church to transform lives."

The Music Ministry of Second Presbyterian Church seeks to lift up God's word through Music by leading people in and preparing people for spirit-filled and truth-filled worship. Music inspires and calls God's people to a deeper level of worship and teaches adults and children alike that God is praised through singing and playing instruments.
