Lake Fellow Program

“Exhibit A that Second exists for the good of the larger Church and the world is its commitment to the Lake Fellows – Take seminary graduates, train them up for two years, invest heavily in their formation as under-shepherds to the Good Shepherd, and bless them to go out and serve God’s Kingdom! Fifteen years later the relationships formed and the time spent at 7700 North Meridian continues to profoundly shape my pastoral imagination. Some of God’s best blessings have been Bill Enright, Lewis Galloway, the pastors, staff, and saints of Second Church.”

~Rev. Ryan Moore, Senior Pastor, First Presbyterian Church Nashville

“An invaluable gift I’ve experienced as a Lake Fellow is the mentorship, collaboration, and friendship I’ve enjoyed with my colleagues, especially with my fellow pastors. I’m deeply grateful for the complementary range of gifts my colleagues possess and bring to their ministry. When I leave Second, I will bring the influence of not a couple, but a dozen fellow pastors into my future work. As a “sending church,” Second will be sending me with mentors and friends in ministry, a treasure worth more than fine gold.”
