The church has continued a tradition of evangelism. Over the decades the people have met for several evangelistic meetings each year. Such prominent evangelists as J. A. Robinson (1947), J. W. Fidler (1945), Robert L. Cocklin (1948), Dr. Ralph W. Schlosser (1949), and J. M. Brougher (1950) has been guests of the church. Many members have united with the church through the ministry of these and other evangelists. In 1951, Bob Richards of international fame spoke to immense crowds on a week of evangelistic services.
On May 2, 1954, Robert Turner of Manheim, Pennsylvania, was chosen pastor of the church. Linford J. Rotenberger, because of the strain on his health, reliquished his responsibilities on June 1, 1954. Robert Turner began his ministry on July 1, 1954, and served the congregation until 1959. During this period, the church experienced organizational change and expanded its program for the youth. The church and the Sunday School gave support to children and youth as they attended Camp Swatara. It was the Second Church of the Brethren which submitted the query to the District Conference calling for the development of a district camp site (1954). In 1955, the first of a series of annual church camps was held at Camp Cann-Edi-On in northern York County. Earl F. Masimore, the local church camp representative, was responsible for the development of this program.
The various groups of the church and the Sunday School have per- formed effective social and religious ministries within the community and the district. It was from this congregation that John Barwick went when he ventured into his world-wide ministry with war prisoners and hungry people. Marvin L. Gibble also spent time as a Brethren Volunteer Service worker at the Flat Creek Mission in Kentucky in 1958-1959. Fred Bohn, W. Franklin Bohn, Gary Clouser and Larry Sipe in recent years have also been involved in Alternative Service assignments and Brethren Volunteer Service work.
On December 25, 1952, the Second Church provided the turkey for the Christmas dinner at the Cross Keys Home. In 1954, the women of the congregation secured Christmas stockings for each child at the Children's Home in Carlisle. In May, 1957, Renate Raake, daughter of a German family, visited the Second Church. For nearly ten years, the Women's Work group corresponded with the German family. and sent packages abroad. The women of the Second Church made possible Renate's visit to America.

During Robert Turner's pastorate, the church began to plan for its yearly program. The first annual church directory was formed in 1954. An amplification system was installed in the church sanctuary in 1956. The outreach program of the congregation has continued to climb through the years. In 1954, for the first time, the outreach giving reached $3000. Since that date, the church's outreach giving has exceeded $5000 on a number of occasions.
In 1955, several significant gifts improved the congregation's musical program. A complete set of new Brethren Hymnals was dedicated in the church as a gift from Mary C. Sprenkel and her children. Charles L. Rowland, former director of the Juniata college choir and professor of music, met with the Second Church on December 11, 1955 in order to dedi- cate the hymnals. The church observed an old-fashioned hymn sing.
Mr. and Mrs. John F. Sprenkel Jr., on February 5, 1956, gave the church a gift of a two-manual, twelve-stop, electrically-operated Furst organ. Words of appreciation were spoken to Mr. and Mrs. Sprenkel on this occasion:
"It was your plan that sometime in the future you would like to present an organ to the Second Church of the Brethren . . . when the time came and the matter was voted on in church council, you offered to be the donor of an organ and gave the congregation the privilege to choose the kind of organ . . . We of the Men's and Women's Work felt it a great pleasure to sponsor this program to show our deep appreciation and high honor which we give to you for your work in the church and for the welfare of others."
To mark the occasion of the gift of the organ, George L. Detweiler was guest of the congregation to speak and to lead the congregation in singing. As a result of the gift, the Men's Work organization constructed a choir loft in the sanctuary, and the choir members acquired new robes for use during the worship services.
When the Church of the Brethren inaugurated the Anniversary Call program in 1958, John F. Sprenkel Jr. and George E. Stough were appointed to implement the call to the local congregation. The call came in the nature of an evangelistic emphasis and an every-member visitation. The congregation began the anniversary year with a special lovefeast and communion service on January 5, 1958. Through the call program, local churches were encouraged to establish local goals which would lead to growth and effectiveness in the life of the congregation. Many members of the Second Church committed themselves to deeper Christian steward- ship and service in the life of the church. The per capita giving of the congregation rose rapidly and has remained consistently high over the years since the call program.
During the summer of 1958, the Second Church cooperated with the brotherhood Ministry Commission by securing a summer pastor from Bethany Biblical Seminary. Kenneth L. Miller, who had completed his first year at the seminary, returned to York to serve the congregation for a three-month period.
Early in 1959, Robert Turner submitted his resignation as pastor of the church. From June 1 to September 15, 1959, Wilbur Gibble, a licensed minister of the congregation, provided the preaching and visitation min- istry. At the conclusion of his services, the church approached Elmer Q. Gleim with a request to serve the congregation on a part-time basis until another pastor could be secured. During the period from October 1, 1959 until September 1, 1961, Elmer Q. Gleim provided the pastoral ministry for the church. During this period the congregation served as the host to the annual York Area School of Christian Education (1959). A board of administration was formed to conduct the business affairs of the church.

During the 1960-1961 public school year, the church building was used for the released time week day school of religious education conducted by the York County Council of Churches. Fifth and sixth grade pupils met in the church once per week for Christian education classes.
James V. D'Amico was elected pastor of the Second Church on May 11, 1961. The Gospel Messenger (September 3, 1960) carried an article describing the experiences of James V. D'Amico in Brooklyn. He had been a native of Brooklyn, and a member of the Calvary Church for seven years. One of the memorable experiences of the membership of the Second Church people was a tour to Brooklyn and New York to visit the mission work conducted in the city area.
The new pastor was installed by regional secretary Ray Forney in September, 1961. In the period in which James V. D'Amico served as pastor (1961-1966), more changes were introduced to the life of the congregation. The council voted to adopt the practice of observing world- wide communion on the first Sunday of each October. The congregation also began to publish a monthly News Letter to keep the membership informed concerning the work of the church. A Boy Scout troop was organized from young men within the church and from the local com- munity, and was led by Richard Wentz.
In August, 1966, James V. D'Amico moved from the district to assume a charge at Greensburg, Pennsylvania. John D. Ebersole, a retired minister from Lancaster county, served the congregation on an interim-basis from February 5, 1967 until August 31, 1967. He served until the church employed Roy C. Myers as the new pastor.
Joseph M. Long, the Tri-district exec- utive, met with the congregation on the evening of March 21, 1967. At this time, Roy C. Myers and his family came to be guests of the church. The District Execu- tive interviewed Roy C. Myers concerning his past ministry in order to acquaint the people with his background and experience. Roy C. Myers He had been licensed to the ministry in the Aughwick congregation in 1951, and served the Juniata Park congregation prior to his election at the Second Church.
Roy C. Myers was active in visitation and in conducting evangelistic meetings. As part of his program for the congregation, he introduced several radio broadcasts. One of these is given regularly over radio station WGCB-FM on Sunday afternoons, and the other is heard regularly over radio station WORK-AM each Sunday evening. These services have been supported by the congregation and by the listening audience.
Since the Second Church of the Brethren was organized, only three moderators have served the congregation. L. Elmer Leas served from April 12, 1944 until December 31, 1947. Jacob L. Miller succeeded to the office and served until October 12, 1961. From October, 1961 until the present, Elmer Q. Gleim has officiated at the church councils and has met with the church's committees and boards.
