New Teaching Series
June 6, 2024
This past weekend, we began a new teaching series—Self Made. It is a badge of honor in American culture to be considered a self-made man or woman. With good reason. Yet, being the god of our own world has a dark side. When we are at the center, the pressure is on us to find happiness, meaning, and security. A message promising freedom turns us into slaves—anxious, tired, and disconnected.
Camp Staff: BridgeBuilders
June 4, 2024
Allendale and Hampton counties are located in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, and our partnership with local churches in the Lowcountry began over a decade ago. One way we come alongside these churches is through BridgeBuilders—a summer camp for local children and students focused on bridging gaps in our relationships with each other and with Christ.
Legacy Finishing Well

Have you heard about Legacy at Grace Church? Legacy is a ministry for those who are in a season of caregiving or empty nesting and for those who want to learn how to finish well. Legacy not only provides information on relevant topics through classes and discussions, but it also connects people in each of these seasons through fellowship and community.

Griggs Church Local Outreach Partner
May 8, 2024
One of our local Outreach partners is Griggs Church, located in the historical Poe Mill neighborhood of Greenville, which has seen economic downturn since the mill’s closing in the 1970s. Our work with Griggs includes providing manpower to run a three-week summer day camp for children in the Poe Mill area with Grace Church Student volunteers.
Baptism Raised with Christ
May 6, 2024
Celebrating baptism at Easter has long been a special time for our Grace family. As we rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus and the hope we have in him, we also celebrate those who identify with him in baptism. This year, over 65 individuals across all campuses owned their faith by obeying Jesus’ call to follow him in baptism.

Over the past few years, we have been making connections and developing relationships with staff members at the GCDC, and we are excited to see more opportunities to serve and engage both staff and inmates come to fruition.
