As part of our mission to serve the wider community, Second Church shares its large facility with a number of nonprofit and community organizations. Our building is always busy and almost never quiet!
​​
We welcome community, arts, and music organizations for rehearsals and events in our Sanctuary and in Fellowship Hall. For availability for space rentals, booking, terms and conditions, etc. email us at office@2ndchurch.org.
In recent years, we have hosted music performances by the Bay Colony Brass, Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, The Jameson Singers, and The Newton Piano Summit. To see you space in action, here's a video from the annual Newton Piano Summit you can see here.

We host Scouts, Alcoholics Anonymous, and Al Anon at Second Church.
The Second Church Nursery School
​
The Nursery School is an integral part of Second Church's mission and ministry. Our nursery school is a 100% nonsectarian nursery school serving all families in Newton and the surrounding communities. Toddler classes, morning preschool classes, and extended afternoon sessions are offered through the year.
Children are grouped developmentally to promote their growth and to enhance their social, cognitive, and motor skills. The Second Church Nursery School is designed to help your child become a more confident, happy, and independent person.
Through the years, The Second Church Nursery School has been voted the 'Number 1 Preschool' in Newton.

Second Church is happy to be home to:
Reconstructionist Jewish Congregation Dorshei Tzedek. Their website is here. Our two congregations do things together and our church is greatly enhanced by CDT's presence, work, and friendship.
Bright Pearl Dance Arts Academy. Their website is here. Director Joanna Jin does a wonderful job teaching Chinese language, dance, and arts. They are not only a gift to local Chinese-American families, but to us as well.
