Facilities at Second
Church
|
Second Church moved to its current location beside Westfield State
University in 1962. The church leaders at the time attempted to
preserve as much of the original downtown church as they could, while
creating a new modern structure. The dozens of stained glass
panels that form the semicircular Narthex were created in 1865 for the
original church. Much of the lighting equipment came from the
original church. And in a monumental effort of Yankee frugality,
even the original heating system was relocated. In addition to offices and meeting rooms, the church also features a large kitchen area. If you're interested in renting any of our spaces, you can fill our our rental agreement and drop it off at the church office or mail it.

Second Church is also home to one of the finest pipe organs in the
Pioneer Valley. Many area musicians enjoy having an opportunity
to perform with it. If you'd like to find out more about it, click here. |
