We believe that all persons are of sacred worth and dignity as part of God's creation, as demonstrated by the ministry of Jesus Christ. We therefore welcome all persons into the life and ministry of our congregation. We welcome, affirm, and celebrate people of all races, cultures, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, gender identities, socioeconomic status, education, physical and mental abilities, or faith histories.

The Christmas Sheep Trail
A Christmas scavenger hunt that is free and fun for everyone!
Our shepherds heard the good news about God’s gift to the world! They want to go see the baby Jesus with the other shepherds but can’t find their sheep. All our shepherds know is that the sheep are in these shops in downtown Spartanburg. Will you help them find their missing sheep? Find out how here.
