Students Spotlight | Hard Questions
October 24, 2025
One of the central facets of our student ministry is teaching our teens to study and apply God’s Word. Recently, our Forge high school students worked through a new series called Hard Questions. This series helped our students to engage difficult questions regarding God, the Bible, and our faith. As they brought questions and doubts into the light of God’s Word, they were able to see how people of faith have always wrestled with these topics, and also how God has answered them in Scripture.
Mission Trip Highlight | France 2025
October 16, 2025
At Harrison Bridge, there is a growing partnership with missionaries located in Grenoble, France, who are working to strengthen the local church and disciple individuals in their community. Some of our HB members recently traveled to France to share teaching resources, hold a men's conference, help with various construction projects, and more. Jonathan Pitts was invited on that mission trip, but his business had just closed a week before being asked—paralyzing him with fear.

Hurricane Helene: A Year in Review
October 1, 2025
It’s been a year since Hurricane Helene’s powerful winds and record-breaking rainfall swept through our area, causing power outages, widespread destruction, catastrophic flooding and landslides, and the loss of many lives. Our sparse tree canopies, repair bills, and lingering debris piles continue to remind us that recovery has been slow and complex, with the long-term effects still unfolding. While there is still so much that needs to be done—and so many lives are forever changed—this anniversary is also an opportunity to look back and be reminded of God’s faithfulness and provision throughout this catastrophe.

Nicaragua Missions | Summer 2025
September 2, 2025
Did you know that we have partnered with Christ For the City International (CFCI) in Nicaragua for more than two decades? Over the years, the generosity of our congregations has allowed us to come alongside our friends at CFCI to support them and minister to local churches and communities in Nicaragua. This summer, CFCI held a medical clinic in Rivas for pastors, leaders, and their families. These pastors are participants in the training courses we started in Rivas last year and will continue for another two years.

One facet of our Outreach ministry is Missions Grants—a funding program that invites our members to apply for yearly grants up to $2,500 to support specific projects or programs of their personal ministry that serve the Upstate. As applications for Missions Grants are now open, we’d love to highlight the ministry of one of our current recipients. Recently, Iglesia Gracia member Alexandra Guarecuco received a grant on behalf of Just Say Something.
