Happy Mother’s Day from The South Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church!

Today we celebrate the high calling of motherhood. We honor the women who have given us life, and we also celebrate the 'mothers in faith'—the aunts, teachers, and mentors whose hands have shaped our hearts.

As we celebrate, we also offer a prayer of comfort for those for whom this day is difficult. Whether you are celebrating, remembering, or hoping, we honor the love you give and the work you do. May you be blessed today.

In 2025, South Carolina Conference churches gave at 100 percent to the Africa University Fund, including a special gift from the Orangeburg District in honor of James H. Salley’s leadership.

Thank you to the congregations of the South Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church for your faithful support of Africa University.

Watch to learn more about the incredible impact your giving has made!

Experience the Magic of Asbury Hills This Summer!

This summer, we invite our rising 2nd through 12th graders to step away from the noise and connect with God at Asbury Hills. This week-long faith based camp experience offers a sacred space for kids to unplug, enjoy God’s creation, and build lifelong friendships. Whether navigating the trails or sharing in quiet devotions, campers have a unique opportunity to grow in confidence and see God’s love in action.

We hope our students will take this time to slow down, play, and discover a faith they can carry with them forever. If you are looking for a community where your child will be encouraged and spiritually refreshed, we invite you to join us in the mountains this summer.

Every Mother's Day, churches all across the South Carolina Conference will collect a special offering for Epworth Children's Home. Their mission is to serve children, youth and families through caring, safe, Christian communities, where hurts are healed, hope is nurtured, and faith in God, self, and others is developed.

This year's offering is especially meaningful as Epworth celebrates 130 years of living out their mission! This Mother's Day, let's celebrate all the good they do. To learn more about their incredible impact on families and children across South Carolina, click the link.

Since 1896, Epworth has been a place for children to grow, learn and be loved. Children ages four – 18 come to us from broken family systems and our goal is to nurture and love them by providing education, counseling, medical care and spiritual enrichment.
