We're keeping the tradition alive.

Enjoy that extra hour of sleep! We'll see you Sunday at 10:30 AM. Even if your microwave thinks it's 11:30.

What kind of church are we becoming?

Last Sunday, we joined our friends at First United Methodist Church Conway SC to share what we’re learning about our answer to that question.

Bobbei and Pastor Tyler had the opportunity to tell our story from two different perspectives.

If you've wondered who we are, this is a good place to start. Take a few minutes to watch (videos linked in the comments), then come see for yourself this Sunday, 10 AM at Ten Oaks Middle School.

We usually know the right thing to do.
The hard part is deciding whether we're willing to pay for it.

Two days before Election Day, we're looking at the story Jesus told about a man in a ditch, the people who walked past, and the one who stopped.

Thanks to our friends at the General Board of Church and Society for reminding us what’s possible at Halloween.
May joy and hospitality find us all in unexpected ways as we share the sidewalks and driveways with our neighbors this weekend. And just maybe, some full-sized candy bars.

Speaking of full-sized candy bars, who has intel on which streets and neighborhoods will be passing them out this year???

🙏 Worship, C***r & Cookies @ First UMC Conway

📍 First UMC Conway
1001 5th Avenue, Conway, SC
📅 Sunday, October 25
🕰 10:30 AM

First United Methodist Church of Conway has been part of our story from the beginning, supporting us financially and providing administrative support as we’ve put down roots in Carolina Forest.

Now we’re exploring what the next chapter of our partnership might look like as we prepare for a new season of growing relationships, developing leaders, and multiplying our movement.

During worship, we'll share part of our story alongside FUMC Conway as they continue to share their story with the Conway community.

After worship, we’ll host a Front Porch gathering with c***r and cookies near the 5th Avenue entrance, giving us an opportunity to meet our Conway neighbors, share stories, and imagine what we might grow together.

We hope you’ll join us!

What if the people we disagree with aren’t quite who we’ve imagined them to be?

It’s easy to assume we know what someone believes, what they value, or even who they are based on which political side they’re on.

But people are more complicated than the labels we give them.
And somewhere along the way, disagreement has turned “we” into “they.”

What if we could change that?

Finding common ground doesn’t mean agreeing on everything, avoiding difficult conversations, or abandoning what we believe.

It means recognizing that we share something deeper than our differences.

Dignity matters.
Truth matters.
Nobody is disposable.

Jesus invites us to become people who can disagree, tell one another the truth, and still care for one another.

Because there’s a “we” that exists before we ever agree.
And disagreement doesn’t get to erase it.

🎧 Our latest sermon, "Do Unto Others, Part 3: Finding Common Ground," is now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

We’ve also included the three questions our congregation used for our post-sermon table discussions. Listen through to the end, then use them to continue the conversation with friends, family, or someone who sees the world differently than you.

One Year of Gathering at Ten Oaks Middle School!

This Sunday marks one year since we first gathered for worship at Ten Oaks Middle School.

A lot has happened around those cafeteria tables over the last year.
We’ve worshiped, prayed, welcomed new people, watched kids grow, asked hard questions, and continued discovering what kind of church God is cultivating in Carolina Forest.

That makes this Sunday’s question especially fitting:
What kind of “we” will we be?

In Part 3 of Do Unto Others, we’ll explore what happens when political disagreement turns “we” into “they,” and what we can learn from the way Paul engaged people who saw the world very differently than he did.

Common ground doesn’t require agreement.
But to disagree doesn’t erase the “we.”

We’ll have Sermon Bingo, Wiggle Church for our youngest worshipers through age 7, and conversation after the sermon.

Most importantly, Sunday is Day One.
Come find room to pause, reflect, breathe, and begin your week grounded in something deeper.

Continue the Conversation

Last Sunday we talked about how our experiences shape the way we see the world and how the Law of Christ shapes what we do.

We committed ourselves to three practices:
1. Seek understanding
2. Practice curiosity
3. Recognize dignity.

Why does our church meet in a school?

We don’t have a building of our own yet.
But meeting at Ten Oaks Middle School has also taught us something important about the kind of church we want to be.

We’re gathering in the middle of the community we’re called to love and serve.
That matters to us.

As we begin developing our property along Carolina Forest Boulevard, we want the relationships we’re building now to shape what happens next.

What we create should serve how we live together.

And we don’t want to simply create something for Carolina Forest.
We want to create it with Carolina Forest.

Will you help tell our story by sharing this with others?

Come grow with us. You Belong Here.
