WELCOME!

from Drew Mentzer
Senior Minister
Hi, my name is Drew Mentzer. I'm the Senior Minister at Second Church of Christ of Danville, Illinois, and I want to welcome you to our web site. Second is a Bible-believing congregation that is reaching out to our community with the love of Christ. We offer regular activities for families, singles, and anyone who is seeking to grow in their relationship with God. Click through the links at the top and find out how you can be involved. If you have any questions as you browse through this site, or if I can be of help to you, please e-mail me and I will respond as quickly as possible.
If you are in our area, please feel free to stop by. We have four wonderful Sunday morning worship services at 7:45, 9:00, 10:15 and 11:30 a.m. In our services God is honored, His Word is declared, we share in fellowship and the Lord's Supper, needs are met, and people are encouraged. We have many programs and classes that are designed to bring people to Christ and to help us all grow in Him. We have a gifted staff who work together to meet needs and lead the church. The church office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You may call us at (217) 442-7306 if we can help in any way or e-mail our church office.
Second Church of Christ is a great church. We have people of all ages from a variety of backgrounds and races. Our doors are open to all. We place great emphasis on ministering to the whole person. We have great children's and youth programming, Sunday School and small group gatherings, and a strong outreach and mission emphasis. Our authority comes from the Word of God and our guidance comes from the Spirit of God. Presently we are averaging over 1000 in our four morning services and our intent is to keep reaching out to those who do not know our wonderful Lord.
Please remember that God loves you more than any of us can begin to understand, and He showed that love by allowing His Son, Jesus, to die to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus came into this world to live among us to invite us back to the Father. Our problem is that we have rebelled against God, broken His laws and worse, broken His heart. We have chosen to live the way we want, and if we look at the present world situation, we can see what a mess we have made of it. God knows how life works best and He wants to give us direction, meaning, and hope. He has created His earthly family, the Church, as a place where people can learn, grow and serve together. This life is often not easy and there are so many voices calling for us to listen and follow. It makes such a difference when you are a part of the Lord's church. The support, care, counsel, and fellowship help in times of need and gives us an opportunity to help others. Our Creator wants all of us to be in His family and to be serving Him.
If you have any questions about the church or your relationship with the Lord, I would be glad to talk to you personally. Feel free to call the office or e-mail me for an appointment. Should you have something we can pray about, please pass that along to us as well. Second Church of Christ exists to lead people to Christ, learn together to follow Him, live to serve Him and love Him above all. We would be very happy to have you as a part of our church family.
Again, thank you for visiting our site. Please check back again for updates, and let us know how we can be of service to you. We would love to hear from you.
