Prison – We work with the chaplain at Perry Correctional Facility as well as South Carolina Department of Corrections for ministry among the inmates and families. To know more about how your church can be involved in ministry at Perry, contact Chaplain Larry Epps at 864-243-4712. We also participate in the Christmas Prisoner Packet ministry each year. The current list of supplies for the packets will be posted in September of each year.
Multihousing – About 40% of our population lives in some kind of multihousing community. This includes: apartments, condominiums, townhouses, assisted care facilities, nursing homes, dormitories and more. The vast majority of multihousing residents have little connection to church. We work to connect our churches with multihousing communities through events, long term partnerships and Apartment Life.
Literacy – With the world coming to us, it is important for them to learn English. We provide training for volunteers who want to work with foreign-born individuals who want to learn how to read and write English better. We also with schools and agencies for tutoring English-speaking students and adults who want to learn how to read and write better.
