We are a gospel-centered Baptist church in Simpsonville, SC committed to gospel faithfulness, biblical community, and intentional disciple making.
We make the gospel central.
We pursue gospel faithfulness by making Jesus Christ and His redeeming work for sinners the primary focus of everything we do.

We strongly believe that the most important instrument in the room when we gather is the congregation's voice; therefore, we make intentional decisions about the songs we sing, the instrumentation we use, and the volume of the instrumentalists and singers on stage.

Ecclesiastes 3:16-4:3
The Mystery of Injustice and Death
16 I also observed under the sun: there is wickedness at the place of judgment and there is wickedness at the place of righteousness. 17 I said to myself, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every work.” 18 I said to myself, “This happens so that God may test the children of Adam and they may see for themselves that they are like animals.” 19 For the fate of the children of Adam and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; they all have the same breath. People have no advantage over animals since everything is futile. 20 All are going to the same place; all come from dust, and all return to dust. 21 Who knows if the spirits of the children of Adam go upward and the spirits of animals go downward to the earth? 22 I have seen that there is nothing better than for a person to enjoy his activities because that is his reward. For who can enable him to see what will happen after he dies?
Ecclesiastes 4
1 Again, I observed all the acts of oppression being done under the sun. Look at the tears of those who are oppressed; they have no one to comfort them. Power is with those who oppress them; they have no one to comfort them. 2 So I commended the dead, who have already died, more than the living, who are still alive. 3 But better than either of them is the one who has not yet existed, who has not seen the evil activity that is done under the sun. -
