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. To register your child, contact Faith Formation Coordinator Kristen O’Leary.
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.

Wednesday Night Bible Study—Wed. nights, 7:00-8:15pm, via Zoom. [NOTE: Bible Study does not meet during Lent.] Join Pastor Sam and others as we explore various books of the Bible together. We’ll look at historical context and use maps, artwork and more to bring the scripture to life and explore what this living Word means for us today. No experience necessary; everyone is invited to participate. NOTE: During Lent, Bible Study is suspended for our Lenten Wednesday Suppers. Access Zoom link HERE.
First Thursday Lunch—monthly, 1:00pm, Narthex. On the first Thursday of each month, all are welcome to gather for a “BYOL” (bring-your-own-lunch) hour of fellowship to nourish our bodies and spirits. Please note you must bring your own food and drink.
Volunteer Choir. Our volunteer choir sings on communion Sundays (the first Sunday of the month) October through June, as well as on Christmas Eve and Easter. Easy music, low time commitment, fun and fellowship. Basic music-reading ability preferred. For a complete schedule, email Pastor Sam.
