Why a New Church?

First, the obvious.  Northeast Richland County is one of the fastest-growing areas of South Carolina, with more growth coming.  And the number of churches in the area hasn't kept up with the growth of the population. 

But there's more to this than demographics.  We believe God is calling us to start a new church whose core purpose is to help people seeking faith, hope and meaning to find their heart's deepest desires in Jesus Christ.  Especially people who know little or nothing about the Christian faith, or who grew up in the church and left.  We are a church that helps people connect or re-connect to the living God.  Accordingly, we are warm, inviting and open to those not yet part of our church family; a safe, non-judgmental place for you to explore faith and grow.

We also believe God calls us to share the love of Jesus with children.  Many parents want to find a church that will help teach their children faith and values, and help them become people of good character who are equipped to resist the foulness infecting our culture.  So we have on staff Michelle Jowers, our children's minister who leads a number of excellent ministries for children and youth.
