Coming Up
Summer Preaching
Join us each Sunday for our Discipleship Hour at 9:30. This is an opportunity for children and adults to grow in their understanding of God’s Word and develop deeper relationships with others.
We have started new adult study of the Letter to the Hebrews at 9:30. Join us as we study this New Testament letter and grow in our understanding of the ministry of Jesus Christ and how his redemptive work fulfills the Old Testament.
In addition to our adult study, our children are learning the stories of Jesus Christ in the Gospels. Through Bible stories, games, and crafts, our children learn about the plan of salvation and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
We are starting a summer series in the book of Amos.
Amos ministers in Israel about 750 years before the birth of Christ in Bethlehem. He has a bold prophetic message from the Lord for people who are safe from military harm and economic calamity, but have failed to honor the Lord with their lives.
Rather than tell his audience that everything will be okay, Amos dramatically calls God's people to repentance and true faith in the one true God.
While the book of Amos is ancient, his message remains relevant and applicable in 2025.
I hope you will join us Sunday at 10:30 as we study Amos and learn about the character of the Triune God.

Beliefs
We are a biblical church in the Reformed tradition that affirms the truth and authority Scripture. We also affirm historic creeds and confessions such as the Apostle’s Creed, Nicene Creed, and the Westminster Confession of Faith as faithful descriptions of the beauty and truth of God's Word.

I'm New
We would love for you to join us Sunday at 10:30 as we worship the Triune God. Shem Creek Presbyterian Church was started as a new biblical church for the Lowcountry because we need more biblical churches in the Charleston area.
Our Sunday worship service is biblical and casual. We sing ancient and modern hymns, learn from God's Word being read and preached, and celebrate the Lord's Supper. The parking lot is behind the Darby Building on Bank Street and there is also street parking available on King and Pitt Streets.
