Who are we?
We are a Christ-centered church which values an open and friendly congregation that is dedicated to spiritual growth of all God’s children and is called by God’s Spirit to serve our neighbors, locally and globally.
Our Guiding Principles
Summerville Presbyterian Church has been called by God and organized by the Charleston Atlantic Presbytery to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ in worship and service to the needy, and to promote peace and justice in the world. SPC uses seven principles to guide our congregation as we worship, enjoy fellowship together, and serve the larger community.
- Worship – As we seek to be a Christ-centered people, we encourage all to celebrate God’s Word, to joyfully worship God, and to listen to the Counsel of the Holy Spirit.
- Spiritual Growth – Grounded in scripture, we strive to become disciples and to foster a deepening faith in all generations.
- Service – Instructed by Jesus to go into the world, and guided by the Holy Spirit, we aim to serve God’s people.
- Fellowship – Drawn together from diverse backgrounds, we seek to be a passionate church where all people are valued as brothers and sisters in Christ.
- Support – By applying His gifts, we steer SPC through planning, preservation and maintenance, financial management, administrative support and supervision.
- Communication – Binding our community of faith as Disciples of Christ, we coordinate and connect the people to the Lord’s Mission for SPC.
- Nurture – Serving each other using our God-given gifts and talents and to seek a healthy church body that can fulfill Jesus’ work in the world.
