Join us this Sunday, October 29th during 11:00 AM worship for our 5th Sunday Singing featuring The Harvells. Kelly and Susan Harvell are natives of Fort Mill. Kelly and Susan were saved in a revival with Dr. J. Harold Loman at the Fort Mill Church of the Nazarene in September of 1973. The Harvell’s have served in many different areas of the church ministry. Their focus is on the message, not the messengers. Kelly is a registered song Evangelist with the Church of the Nazarene. The Harvells are available for revivals, camp meetings, banquets, and rallies. We will receive a love offering for the Harvells at the close of the service on Sunday, October 29th.

Join us this Sunday, October 29 from 4-6 pm for our Annual Fall Festival!!! We will have yummy food, tons of fun, lots of games, and inflatables!!!! We will also have our super awesome Trunk or Treats!!! Join us for Great Fun for the Entire Family!!!
