For The Beauty of the Earth Psalm 15
Bill Gabbard
O Lord, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy hill? Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right, And speak the truth from their heart; Who do not slander with their tongue, And do no evil to their friends, Nor take up a reproach against their neighbors; In whose eyes the wicked are despised, But who honor those who fear the Lord; Who stand by their oath even to their hurt; Who do not lend money at interest, And do not take a bribe against the innocent. Those who do these things shall never be moved.

Welcome to Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church. You belong here, and we hope you'll come back. We meet for worship Sundays at 11 a.m. in our beautiful Sanctuary. We also host a contemporary online worship service at 4 p.m. called All Together. You can stream it on our Facebook page or at www.livestream.com/spdl. During the week, we have virtual small groups and Bible studies and each Wednesday, we hold a churchwide prayer call. We truly have something for everyone here at Second-Ponce. Our greeters and ministers love the opportunity to connect you with a small group or other opportunities to carry out your ministry passions.
HOW TO JOIN Second-Ponce enthusiastically welcomes you to make a commitment to Christ and our community of faith. At any time during the Hymn of Response, simply walk to the front of the Sanctuary where our senior pastor or a Second-Ponce minister will greet you with warmth and joy. At our big regathering bash on August 22, we'll honor all new members who joined during the pandemic with a greeting line and the usual fanfare worthy of you joining the Second-Ponce family.
