*SC United Methodist Church Conference*

The South Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church is unique in United Methodism, with a marvelous history comprised of one predominantly African-American conference formed in 1866 and one predominantly Anglo conference formed in 1785. The two conferences united in 1972 and continue to witness to God’s love for all persons. We celebrate our distinctiveness, and we are committed to our unity in Christ.

We invite you to visit our churches and join with us in being bearers of the Good News of Jesus Christ. We are committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ, so the love and grace of Christ may be made known through us.

*Pentecost Offering*

Pentecost Offering: Theme- Building a Life of Faith based on Psalm 71:17- "God from my youth you have taught me."

The Pentecost Offering helps our young people begin life with a strong start - a solid foundation of faith formed in the years from childhood through young adulthood. Join us and the whole church in building for our future, in building individual lives of faith. If we all do a little, it adds up to a lot! A gift to the Pentecost Offering helps the church encourage, develop, and support its young people, and also address the needs of at-risk children. 40% of the Pentecost offering can be retained by individual congregations wanting to make an impact in the lives of young people within their own community. The remaining 60% is used to support ministries of the Presbyterian Mission Agency: Young Adult Volunteers, Ministries for Youth, and Children-at-Risk. The offering is typically taken on Pentecost Sunday (May 20, 2018).
