The Diocese of South Carolina has a program of ministry and mission in which every member of our Diocesan family - each man, woman, and child - can play a significant role. We can do this by becoming Builders for Christ.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break trhough and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21

St. Paul wrote to the Ephesians, "We are members one of another." he invited the first century Christians to acknowledge their oneness in Christ by giving generously to support chruches in need. In the same spirit, we are asking you and everyone in the diocese to make a gift to help chruches in this diocese who want to meet challenging opportunities for development.
