We expect you may have questions so we have put together a few key questions for review below:

1. Why is this move being sought and how will it meet the church’s mission?

   • The Greenville SC SDA church’s mission is simple, “Founded on Scripture. Focused on Jesus. Facilitating Authentic Community.” This transition will allow us to firmly meet the third arm of this mission while utilizing our strengths in arms one and two to meet the Greenville community.

2. Why downtown Greenville?

   • As recently as 2022/2023, Greenville, SC was named the fastest growing city in America. At now over 600 thousand people, Greenville provides an opportunity for the church to show Jesus and share the Three Angel’s message in a relevant context. The Greenville SC SDA church has been near downtown since its founding, but this move will place us in downtown to continue to fulfill our mission in powerful ways.

3. How will this project be funded?
   • Equity from the sale of our current campus, Carolina conference support, acquiring eligible SURF loans and seeking on-going grants
   • Generosity of donor giving alongside UCI-related union, divisional and General Conference funding

While those funds continue making an impact globally, we are asking our local communities to give sacrificially that we trust will create a center of influence and share Christ’s love and message of salvation.
