Join Us on a Sunday Morning
Greenville Church is known for its commitment to caring for our community. One aspect of our mission is our annual barbecue in the fall. We also provide food and support for those struggling, as part of our community ministry, which includes organizing gifts for our local food ministry, The Hope Center, and our global work through Rise Against Hunger.
Our church’s strengths lie in worship, featuring strong music and Bible-based, Christ-centered preaching. We also excel in Christian education through our small groups, such as Sunday School classes, Christian Life 101, and our youth ministry, where we study the Bible and apply its teachings to life.
We are here to win and develop. We win people to Christ, our Lord! We develop everyone through our actions in our work for those outside the church, teaching those individuals to follow Jesus well each day through the Word of God, found first in Scripture and then through the experience of living for Jesus!
I’ve been a pastor for 48 years, and I still grow in my following of Jesus each day! I am already your friend! Would you become my friend and, most importantly, the friend of Jesus and his church?
Blessings,
Dr. John
Minister, Greenville Church

We affirm the presence of children during worship, and they are always welcome to participate in service activities.

May I participate in Holy Communion?Absolutely. Greenville Church's Communion table is an "open table" for all those who love Christ, repent of their sins, and seek to live in peace with one another, regardless of age or church affiliation.

What makes Greenville Church unique?Greenville Church Joelton is more than just a building; it is a community of believers who love and care for one another in Jesus Christ. Many generations of families have grown up and raised their families alongside the Greenville Church community. Our services and activities provide opportunities to know and care for the neighbors in your pews, as we "run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith" (Hebrews 12:1-2). As Romans 12:5 states, "So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others."
