New Sermon Series: The Ancient Christian Faith for 21st Century Problems

In a world that moves at the speed of a fiber-optic connection, our problems can feel brand new. We face the complexities of digital burnout, global instability, and a pervasive sense of isolation. Yet, the answers we seek aren't always found by looking forward—sometimes, they are found by looking back.

"Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." — Jeremiah 6:16

This series is an invitation to pause at the "crossroads" of modern life. Join us as we explore how the timeless wisdom of the historic Christian faith provides a sturdy foundation for the anxieties of the 2020s. We aren't just looking for tradition for tradition's sake; we are looking for the "good way" that leads to true rest.

Worship Together

“You’re warmly invited to join us Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at our pastor’s home for an uplifting and interactive time of worship. Together we’ll enjoy Bible teaching, vision casting, music and worship, communion, children’s ministry, prayer, and then share a meal around the table with a fellowship brunch.”

Children are always welcome and loved here! Our spacious kids’ ministry room is a fun place where younger children can learn about Jesus, worship, and play—led by kind and caring women teachers. Parents are welcome to step in at any time, and with the windowed door, you can easily peek in to see how your little ones are doing.

"Real Presence: Beyond the Virtual Screen"

Image for The Altar Church of Anderson, SC Podcast

We’re more "connected" than any generation in human history, yet we’ve never been lonelier. We have the world in our pockets, but are we losing our souls to the screen? Join Fr. Jon as we dive into a paradox that’s defining our age. We’re exploring why "virtual" connection often leaves us empty and how an ancient faith offers the "Real Presence" we’re actually hungering for. Whether you’re a digital native or just feeling the burnout of the scroll, this episode is a call to move beyond the avatar and into a life that’s truly, ontologically new. Let's get real.
