The Lord has been good to us, and we have been asked to gather a team who will provide leadership and vision to our new corner of the world – Main @ Elmwood! Literally the Gateway to the State Capitol.
This corner has been ordained to house the SC4 to bring us visibility, credibility and a future of hope and progress. Please take time to ride by, stop, pray over the corner, and dream of what it can and will become.
A sign will go up soon announcing our arrival, so look out world – here we come! A design/vision team has put into place and has already begun work. Please offer up special prayer for this exciting opportunity being presented to us as we venture into a new season at the SC Christian Chamber of Commerce.
Keep in mind that we move forward not for ourselves or a pretty space, but to make sure that the business community knows what we have done, are doing, and dare to do for the underserved of SC.
Our 2012 Free Lunch Seminar Series is now posted under our Education Link to the left under Kehoe Consultants.

GED gets close to home…
Columbia GED Team: Columbia is forming the Midland’s GED team for testing and tutoring at the Columbia campus of Christ Central at Hope Plaza.
As we perfect our unique GED program we continue to regionalize teaching teams to help best serve those who need the classes and testing.
We are seeking retired teachers, engineers, tutor/mentors and testers; we will provide all your materials and training. Classes and TABE testing will be done in the evenings and on Saturdays, at your convenience. Everyone will be teaching from the same material, so instructors can rotate days, times, etc.

Insights on Giving
- “Philanthropy isn’t something you choose to do; it’s something you feel called to do.”-“Philanthropy is not about being good…Faith without works is dead. But so are works without faith…If you practice philanthropy because you worship not “Good,” but you worship “God,” then the good works you do will bring honor to him. Him not you – that’s the difference.”
-“Be careful not to think of philanthropy as your ticket to heaven. It isn’t.
-“Philanthropy isn’t something you should feel pressured or shamed into doing.
–“Philanthropy is something that you should do just because you genuinely love God and wish to serve others.”
