==History==

The congregation was founded in 1837 when fifteen members of the Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis, which would subsequently be known as First Presbyterian, broke off as part of the Old School–New School Controversy. The new congregation formed the New School General Assembly, which soon took the name Second Presbyterian. On May 13, 1839, Henry Ward Beecher was installed as the first minister, the brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Beecher would go on to become one of the most famous men in nineteenth century America. He became known for his use of humor and informal language in his preaching and built the congregation to the largest in the city during his tenure as pastor.
The congregation built its first house of worship on the Circle, the focal point of the Indianapolis street grid. As the population grew in the 1960s it was decided to move three blocks north, to a property on the northwest corner of E. Vermont and N. Pennsylvania Streets. The new Gothic building was opened in 1870 at a cost of $105,000, though the chapel had been used since 1867. In the 1920s the block was mostly cleared to make way for the Indiana War Memorial. The church, along with a number of other buildings, held out from demolition. The church was not razed until 1960, after the completion of the congregation's current home on North Meridian Street.
