Holy City Church | Charleston, SC
Shining our light. Seeking our home. Spreading our hope.
In the summer of 2016, the South Carolina Baptist Convention asked the Holy City Church planters to “replant” in the Harbor Light Baptist congregation. The Timmons family were providentially already on the ground preparing the way through many connections & details. The churches merged in December 2016, and Holy City launched the following month. The church began with 25 people and now averages 70-80 people each Sunday. HCC is served by two pastors and two deacons. They have seen conversions and new members join in the vision of engaging the James Island community.
