Our Stories
The Kingdom of God is like… Community Theater
Two South Carolina Synod pastors took the stage this past weekend at the Village Square Theatre in Lexington for a production of Newsies.
Celebrating Women Pastors
50 years ago the Holy Spirit gave birth to a new thing in the ALC and the LCA and the ordination of women to the Office of Word and Sacrament was brought forth! Elizabeth Platz, LCA, was ordained on November 22, 1970 and a month later, Barbara L. Andrews, ALC, was ordained on December 20, 1970.
Celebrating our Global Mission Partners – The Southwestern Diocese of Tanzania
Last summer a delegation from the South Carolina Synod traveled to the South Western Diocese of Tanzania for the Consecration and Installation of the new Bishop.
We are over half way to our goal! Join the effort to launch Latino ministry to new levels in South Carolina. Make your gift today.
And, help us reach the $50,000 challenge if at least half of our congregations participate. Click here for more information about how congregations can share this story with your members.
