Some people are new to faith while others have been committed to Christ from their toddler years. We believe God draws people to Him by His grace, and at LWC, our vision begins in the same way it did for Abraham: faith. God called him, and he responded. The book of Romans tells us the "righteous will live by faith." In the moments where patience is running thin, in the moments where you feel like you can't go on, and even in the moments where life is treating you well, you are called to live by faith. Faith stretches us and moves us closer to God.
For us, we think faith is characterized by individual responses to God's desire for your life. Whether it's baptism, membership, tithing, or even deciding on where God will work through you in a volunteer role, we believe God provides. In your marriage, your parenting, your job, your friendships, or in your personal life, we believe God provides.

We think the Beatles really did say it best... "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE." There's an argument that could be made that people are either the best thing in this world or the worst, but at LWC we believe we grow best when we're around people. To help facilitate authentic Christian community, we plan several events throughout the year where people can fellowship - often times over food.
Equally important, we believe Christians should meet togethr in smaller, more comfortable environments to study the Word, to encourage one another, and to strengthen one another. One of the biggest ways we believe growing in love should take place is within the context of what we call "LifeGroups." On top of LifeGroups, we also host LWC Kids children's worship services simultaneously with the worship service in the sanctuary. We don't consider children and youth the "church of tomorrow," rather they are a part of the church TODAY!

SERVE
Service makes us more like Christ.
Before his crucifixion, Jesus made sure to set time aside so that he could have one final meal with his disciples. Shortly after finishing the meal, he took his robe and tied it around his waist like a towel. He then began to wash his disciples feet. If you can think about the nastiest feet near you, multiply that nastiness by 100 and then you'd have the disciples' feet.
In the same way that Christ humbled himself before his closest friends, we are called to humble ourselves and serve others. Not because it's glamorous or fun (because it isn't always fun), but because we take on a more accurate image of God when we serve. Some of the biggest ways we serve through hope at LWC is by volunteering. We have all sorts of volunteering positions. On top of church-related roles, we are looking more and more for opportunities to make God famous in the Spartanburg/Greenville areas and beyond. We sponsor several missionaries and we are always ready to help when relief is needed.
If you're interested in volunteering, seeing God's people come together for needs in the local/global community, please email Pastor Dillon at dillongroves326@gmail.com.
