Frequently Asked Questions

Does the South Carolina Baptist Convention provide insurance for pastors, pastor’s spouses or widows, church workers, or missionaries?

Insurance for church workers is not provided directly through our state convention. However, Guidestone, which adopts the beliefs and statements of faith of the Southern Baptist Convention, offers insurance plans designed exclusively for those in ministry. You can call Guidestone at (844) 467 – 4843.

Can the South Carolina Baptist Convention help my church resolve a conflict?

All of our South Carolina Baptist churches are autonomous in nature and the SCBC cannot in any official capacity intervene in a church conflict. That being said, depending on the situation, we can offer counsel to a church that is going through a difficult season. Contact us for more information.

How do I remove myself or someone else from an SCBC mailing list?

On the envelope of the mail you are receiving, a specific SCBC department should be listed. You can call us at (803) 765 – 0030 and ask for that specific department, and our team members will help remove you or someone else from the mailing list in question.

When is the SCBC Annual Meeting? Can I set up a booth?

Any information about our Annual Meeting can be found on our Annual Meeting page. We invite our Institutional Ministry partners directly related to SCBC or SBC to be an exhibitor.

How do I access my church’s SBC ID number?

If you have received any official records from us here at the SCBC, your SBC church ID will be listed in that mail. You can also call us at (803) 765 – 0030 and we can help retrieve that information for you.

How do I change my church’s information with the SCBC (updated leadership, phone numbers, email or mailing addresses, etc.)?
