You can attend a service every week for years and still walk out a stranger.
That is the ache a lot of us feel for people who have never encountered the true power of the church.
On 1st and 3rd Sundays, we move beyond services into discipleship where every person is not just seen in passing but known closely as a brother or sister in Christ.
We still love the larger room. We gather there to be ignited. But we gather in homes to be formed. Both carry His presence. Both are necessary.
So if you have been quietly longing for more than a service, for a table instead of a back row, this is your invitation. There is a seat with your name on it.
1st & 3rd Sundays: Home Church
2nd & 4th Sundays: Service in Greer
Text the word HOME to (864) 428-7131 for the address.

🔥 PENTECOST SUNDAY 11AM🔥
This Sunday at Abiding Church, we’re gathering with expectation for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
We believe Pentecost was never meant to be remembered as a moment in time but lived as a reality in the life of every believer.
“Pour out Your Spirit on all flesh.” (Joel 2:28)
Come hungry for His presence.
Come ready for worship, prayer, healing, freedom, and deliverance.
Bring your family. Bring someone who needs hope. Bring your expectation.
🕊️ Sunday at 11AM
552 Memorial Drive Ext.

Most people read the parable of the talents and assume the unfaithful servant was lazy or rebellious. He wasn’t. He was afraid.
He took what the master gave him, dug a hole, and buried it. Not out of defiance. Out of fear. And when the master returned, the gift was taken from him and given to the one who had been faithful with what he had.
Fear is the enemy of stewardship.
God has placed something in your hand. A gift. A calling. A relationship. A resource. A testimony. And the enemy’s greatest strategy is not to steal it from you. It is to convince you to bury it yourself.
Occupy until He comes is not a passive instruction. It is a Kingdom command. It means do business. Multiply. Invest. Put to work everything the Master has entrusted to you while He is away.
He is coming back. And when He does, the question will not be how much you had. It will be what you did with what you were given.
Don’t bury it.

This week we’re not gathering for a performance. We’re coming together for presence.
In a culture that is loud distracted and constantly pulling at your attention. There is something sacred about carving out time to abide. Not to spectate, but to encounter.
At Abiding Church, we are building a people who are rooted in presence formed at the table and released with kingdom Authority and into every sphere of influence.
Come ready, come expectant, come surrendered!

❤️ 13 Lessons We’ve Learned in 13 Years together ❤️(And we’re still learning…)
1. Love is a daily decision. Feelings fluctuate so your commitment anchors you to your covenant.
2. Passion and “feelings” are far more in control than you think they are. If you learn how to delight in your spouse…desire is cultivated.
3. Sex matters…but it’s not just about the physical act. It’s sacred, it’s a tool for comfort, it can open lines of blocked communication, it’s good for your health…and worth prioritizing. However….more frequent sex doesn’t mean good sex. The intimacy of knowing one another as friends will ultimately lead to better sex.
4. Avoiding hard conversations costs more than having them. You NEED TO master 5 needed conversations one at a time God & Faith, Sex & Health, Parenting, Money, Career & Calling. The key to unlocking good conversations is learning to ask the right questions.
5. Listen to understand, not to win and argument. Connection > being “right.” Who cares if you won the argument? But did you win their heart?
6. Unspoken expectations create unnecessary frustration. Say what you need…clearly. Don’t expect your spouse to be a mind reader.
7. Forgiveness is a rhythm, not a one-time event. Marriage requires ongoing mercy and grace for one another.
8. Your words set the atmosphere of your home. How you speak to your spouse and about them matters.
9. Don’t fall into the trap of putting all your hope in a “date night” to save your marriage and lose sight of consistent daily connection. Marriage isn’t built on one day a week connection. You need a rhythm of touch and talking.
10. Build your marriage on a common mission. That starts with being faithful disciples of Christ and making disciples of your kids/family. What can you partner together to accomplish…and make an impact in the world?
11. BE Flexible…. Flexibility is important…but so is having a rhythm. Seasons change and you have to be flexible to shift how to operate as a couple, but you also have to be intentional about your rhythm of life together or you can fall a part in transition.
12. You can’t change your spouse, but you can still influence the culture of your marriage. Growth together starts with taking personal responsibility for yourself.
13. Find ways to laugh together…even through the challenging times of life. My wife and I found ourselves laughing so hard last night that we were choking and falling on the floor. It was over a video of a guy showing us how to cook ground chicken… the video was not at all funny but to us…because we’re connected in the work it takes to get fit right now it just set us off! We have learned to laugh at things funny but also at the ridiculousness of life sometimes. Going through life, especially when you have a calling from God…takes FAITH. Sometimes you just have to stop and take a breath and have a good laugh to release the pressure.
Marriage is designed to be a tabernacle for the glory of God. That means it’s going to be attacked and you have to be intentional about guarding it. It’s a beautiful gift from God. 13 years later, we’d still choose each other — more, most, & forever.

The Church has been confused about the role of a pastor. And that confusion is costing us health, maturity, and discipleship.
Pastor was never meant to be the default title for everyone who leads. But over time, it became an all-encompassing role…CEO, figurehead, brand, and manager, often at the cost of proximity and shepherding.
When leadership becomes distant, formation weakens. When one role tries to carry everything, the body suffers.
A pastor is a shepherd. Relational. Present. Walking with people…not managing them.
This is why the Church was never designed to function with one role doing everything. God gave the Five-Fold to equip the saints, not replace them. When gifts are misappropriated, confusion grows. When gifts are set in order, the Church matures.
This is the shift we are intentionally making at Abiding Church.
- We build around the table.
-We shepherd in proximity through house churches.
- We honor every gift by creating space for it to function, both in gatherings and from home to home.
The tide is turning. The Church grows healthiest when every gift is rightly placed.
(Ephesians 4)

There’s a lot of noise right now.
Information everywhere. Opinions nonstop. Distractions competing for your attention. And we’re only through the first week of 2026.
Sunday, we’re intentionally creating space to step away from the noise and deepen our roots in God’s presence.
If you’ve felt stretched, distracted, or unsettled, come and refocus on Him.

This Sunday is Prophetic Sunday at Abiding Church. We will lean into powerful worship, personal prophetic ministry, and collective discernment as we seek the voice of the Lord for the year ahead. At this gathering, everyone will be anointed with oil as a biblical act of consecration as we cross into the new season.
