Spartanburg's Collegiate Church
Spartanburg is home to several fine colleges and universities. Central United Methodist Church, as the City's first church (1837), has always enjoyed a unique relationship with the City's first college, Wofford (1854). But in 1889 Converse College for Women opened, and in 1911 came the Spartanburg Methodist (Junior) College, followed after World War II by the University of South Carolina Upstate; USC-Union; VCOM- the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine; and others. Central has always eagerly welcomed students and faculty from these institutions, plus neighboring Furman, Presbyterian, Erskine, Lander, Newberry, and even distant Columbia College, USC, and College of Charleston. Students regularly visit Central and often bring friends and parents.
