Second Presbyterian Church (also known as Central Presbyterian Church) is a historic church building in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was built in 1857 in a Romanesque style and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It closed in November 2011.[2] The site was previously the location of the first public school in Columbus, built in 1826.[3]

The building was acquired by Columbus Association for the Performing Arts in 2013, and is being repurposed as a performance venue. CAPA CEO William Conner Jr. said the church building is "acoustically near perfect".[4]
