I am Deciding to Commit My Life to Jesus!
Dependent. Authentic. Multiply. Multi-Gen. Generous. Humble. Community.
First Baptist Simpsonville | Upstate Church has been part of the Simpsonville community since 1887, growing into a vibrant, multigenerational church with multiple locations across the Upstate of South Carolina. We have a heart for people who are hurting, but we know that religion by itself isn’t the answer—real healing and restoration only come through a relationship with Jesus. Our goal is simple: to be a church that loves and serves the Upstate, helping people find new life in Him.
Life is about more than what we can see. The Bible teaches that every believer is engaged in a real spiritual battle—not against people, but against an unseen enemy who seeks to deceive, discourage, accuse, and distract us from following Christ. In this series through Ephesians 6, we’ll uncover the reality of spiritual warfare and learn why standing firm in our faith is essential for every follower of Jesus.
The good news is that God has not left us defenseless. Through Christ, He provides everything we need to stand strong: the Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness, Gospel Shoes of Peace, Shield of Faith, Helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit. Join us as we discover how to recognize the enemy’s tactics, trust in God’s strength instead of our own, and live with confidence in the victory Jesus has already secured.
We are a multi-generational church leaning forward. We know that to reach the Upstate for Jesus, we must lean forward to reach young families with kids and students! You’ll find thriving Upstate Kids and Upstate Students programs at all of our campuses on Sunday mornings and at Midweek at our Simpsonville, Haywood, and Anderson campuses.
