We are a group of college students and graduated leaders who follow Jesus. We are far from perfect, but we are passionate about the Gospel. We believe that His love and grace are available to all, and we believe that this is good news worth sharing! Each week we study God's word together across Columbia in community groups, worship together on Thursday Nights in the heart of USC. On Sunday mornings during the Fall & Spring Semesters we come together as one Shandon Baptist Church for 10:30am modern service at 5250 Forest Dr. We will even pick you up from the Horseshoe on Sumter Street at 10am and drive you back to campus after service!
We are excited to know you!
Visit us in 5 Points at 2121 Devine St. or, when you come to one of our gatherings, stop by our info table so that we can meet you and hear your story.
