Mission

As Christians, we are committed to transforming and reconciling the world through relationships with Christ and each other. Join us in God's mission – both in our neighborhoods and around the world.

Bishops' Public Education Initiative

The bishops of the Fellowship of SC Bishops (Lutheran, Episcopal, Roman Catholic, United Methodist, African Methodist Episcopal, and Christian Methodist Episcopal judicatories) have come together in an ecumenical initiative to support a flourishing public education system in South Carolina. Our initiative is a state-wide effort by us as religious leaders to engage our approximately 1,600 churches and their 500,000 members in personal support of the poorest children in our state, so that they may receive the full benefits of a good education.
