Current Pastor – Pastor Scott Barber’s first Sunday as the new pastor was the first Sunday of September, 2004. Pastor Barber and his wife, Tresa, are thankful for what the Lord is doing in the lives of the people of this church and community. They are looking confidently to the Lord to continue to show His faithfulness in blessing the work here on Hilton Head Island, SC, and in its surrounding communities.
New property and new building – The first service in the new building was held on Sunday, October 21, 2001, and the dedication service for the new building was held on November 11, 2001. The Lord blessed in such a wonderful way that both the land and the new building were debt-free very soon after the church got into its new facilities.
Main Street Theater – The church met in the Main Street Theater for two and a half years, and property was purchased nearby behind the adjacent Main Street Bowling Center.
