About Us

Our Story

Greenville Presbyterian Church is an upstate South Carolina congregation serving in life-giving ministry with a local focus to people across several counties. Our worship, education offerings, and service bring us into a wonderful relationship with Jesus.

GPC is a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, a movement of churches which are evangelical, Presbyterian, reformed and missional. After an incredible journey with our transitional pastor, Tom Pittman, we have found a new pastor in Donovan Campbell! We are very happy to welcome him and his family to the church.

We are a community of people with varying backgrounds and ages from infants to seniors. Some have grown up in our area and have multi-generational roots and some have arrived recently. Since 1773, Greenville Presbyterian Church has served in Spirit-led ministry and today we continue to use our gifts to serve God and our neighbors.

WHAT WE DO

Worship - a one hour service every Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. Come as you are!

Sunday School - for children and adults Sunday mornings at 10am. There are classes for the children by age group and two adult classes.

4th Sunday Dinner - stay after worship on 4th Sundays, September - May for a covered dish lunch. Bring a dish or dessert to share, stay and eat anyway if you forget.

Presbyterian Women - This is a women's fellowship and discipleship group that meets at the church once a month to share a dessert and fellowship, have a bible study, and engage in Christian mission projects together.

Vacation Bible School - one of our summer programs for children and adults.

August Sunday School - We give our regular Sunday School teachers the month of August off and do a special program for children and adults during that time. This year the program will run all of the Sundays of August and also the first Sunday of September.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To Him be all honor, glory and praise forever!
Jesus Christ, the living Word, became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. He who is true God became true man united in one Person forever. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. On the third day He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Mediator.
The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to our hearts. He convicts us of sin and draws us to the Savior, indwelling our hearts. He gives new life to us, empowers and imparts gifts to us for service. He instructs and guides us into all truth, and seals us for the day of redemption.
Being estranged from God and condemned by our sinfulness, our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God’s free grace. God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justifies them in His sight. Only such as are born of the Holy Spirit and receive Jesus Christ become children of God and heirs of eternal life.
The true Church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit are united together in the body of Christ. The Church finds her visible yet imperfect expression in local congregations where the Word of God is preached in its purity and the sacraments are administered in their integrity, where scriptural discipline is practiced, and where loving fellowship is maintained. For her perfecting she awaits the return of her Lord.
Jesus Christ will come again to the earth personally, visibly, and bodily--to judge the living and the dead, and to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).
The Lord Jesus Christ commands all believers to proclaim the gospel throughout the world and to make disciples of all nations. Obedience to the Great Commission requires total commitment to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.” He calls us to a life of self-denying love and service. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).

Greenville Pres was officially received into the Evangelical Presbyterian Church denomination: January 22, 2017 was a momentous day for the members of Greenville Presbyterian Church as they joined the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Below, the Elders take their vows.
