LowCountry Church Plant

  • Why is Church Planting needed?

    Jesus Christ’s last word in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 28 was to “Go, baptize, teach, and make disciples.” Every Christian community has a responsibility to lean into this mission not only by going to other countries or to serve in other regions of the world, but also to reach out to the places that where people are coming from all around the world in our midst. God has given the Global Methodist Church in South Carolina an opportunity to reach 50,000+ people who have moved into the Summerville/Berkeley County metro-region many of which have no church connection.

  • Launching

    Cost of Launch

    Meeting people, preaching in community centers, providing small group hospitality, sending out community direct mailers, providing for the church planting pastor family, and with God’s grace hiring future staff to help us accomplish God’s mission - all of these and much more will need financial support from committed partners. Consider giving a monthly donation to support the mission.

    How to Get Involved

    We need your prayers as we listen to the Spirit of God and meet Jesus as He ministers to the people of Summerville and Berkley County. Support the LowCountry Church Plant by lifting the ministry in prayer regularly in the name of Jesus Christ.

    Joining the Team

    For the first two years we will need dedicated disciples ready to meet with other disciples and make this church plant a reality. If you are ready to follow God into this ministry and plant a church as a fully committed disciple share this with Pastor Dan.
