Second Parish Information

The people of Second Parish in Hingham form a caring community whose principal mission is to seek, to learn, to serve, and to connect as we explore the meaning of life. We strive to always be there for each other in times of joy and celebration as well as in times of crisis and sorrow. Love for each other is the cornerstone of our covenant. Central to our religious experience is the creating and nurturing of an atmosphere in which each person can search for his or her own spiritual truth. We support each other in this search for belief and understanding while, at the same time, respecting our differences. We enjoy being together, both in church and at parishioners' homes, for socializing and/or learning: after-church coffees, potluck dinners, book groups, men's breakfasts, and women's dinners. Music is an important part of this church's life of camaraderie, both as part of our Sunday service and at occasional special concerts featuring both classical and eclectic themes. Our long-running, annual Spring Art Show attracts many artists from the South Shore and beyond to display for sale their paintings and crafts. Included among the exhibiters are students of all grades from Hingham and neighboring towns, who join in what has become a popular community attraction. We invite you to join us on Sundays when we worship together, gathering peace and strength for the coming week and beyond. Children attend the first part our service before going to their religious education classes. You are welcome to come and see us in action.
