Second Chance Church

What Second Chance Church does

Second Chance Church is a non-profit religious organization founded in 2018 and headquartered in Anderson, South Carolina, employing 14 staff. The church operates a tri-modal ministry delivery model consisting of a physical main campus in Anderson (with four Sunday service times at 8:00am, 9:30am, 11:15am, and 5:00pm), a satellite watch party location at The Flight Deck in Lexington, SC serving the Columbia area, and a global virtual campus with live streaming at live.secondchance.is. Its ministry portfolio includes SC Kids (children's programming for birth through 6th grade), SC Students (youth ministry for rising 7th-12th graders), periodic baptism services, and a daily SMS text devotional system led by Pastor P (subscribers text 'pastorpdev' to short-code 97000).

The church's technology infrastructure is a commodity digital stack rather than proprietary platforms: Sanity serves as the content management system powering the website, Pushpay handles online tithing and capital-campaign giving (including the active RATTLE $1,000,000 land-purchase campaign), and a live-streaming platform supports the virtual campus. Marketing and community engagement run through YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. The organization has no app, no disclosed APIs or SDKs, and no AI/ML components.

Second Chance Church is a congregational nonprofit with no parent company, no institutional investors, no public listing, and no disclosed funding rounds. Its revenue mechanics are member tithing and donations, with no commercial pricing. The customer base comprises individuals and families in the Southeast US seeking inclusive spiritual community, with the virtual campus extending reach globally. Sub-brands include SC Kids and SC Students, and the organization maintains active profiles on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
