Sunday Worship

Greenville Community Church meets in the Sanctuary every Sunday at 10:00am through the year. Worship lasts approximately one hour, providing an opportunity to sing, pray, and commune with God and each other. Our talented musicians lead soul-lifting music ranging from classical and jazz to traditional and contemporary hymns. Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of every month.

Sunday school is available most Sundays (excluding communion Sundays); children start in worship and are invited to depart for their classrooms following a children’s sermon. For information, contact Pastor Sam.

Prayer is an important part of this faith community. If you or someone you know is in need of prayer, please contact Pastor Sam. Names can be added to the public prayer list or be held in confidence.

  • Save the Date: Epiphany Women's Retreat: Embracing Transition with Faith and Courage—Sat., Jan. 23, 2027, 9:00am-1:00pm. Throughout Scripture, God meets people in seasons of transition, calling them to trust, let go, and step faithfully into something new. Whether we are facing changes in family life, work, relationships, health, purpose, or faith itself, transitions can be both challenging and sacred opportunities for growth and renewal. All women are invited to join us for a half-day retreat of learning, reflection, conversation, and creativity as we explore the realities of our lives today and discern where God is present and at work in the new year. Facilitated by Lesley Mazzotta, a Certified Spiritual Director who served for seven years on the national staff of the RCA Women's Transformation and Leadership Initiative. RSVP info to come.
