We are a gospel-centered Baptist church in Simpsonville, SC committed to gospel faithfulness, biblical community, and intentional disciple making.

THIS SUNDAY AT SSBC - MAY 19, 2024


  • We strongly believe that the most important instrument in the room when we gather is the congregation's voice; therefore, we make intentional decisions about the songs we sing, the instrumentation we use, and the volume of the instrumentalists and singers on stage. 


    Take a moment to listen, learn, and prepare to sing loudly as we gather to proclaim Christ together!

  • John 4:31-26 (CSB)

    Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

    1 When Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were), 3 he left Judea and went again to Galilee. 4 He had to travel through Samaria; 5 so he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar near the property that Jacob had given his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, worn out from his journey, sat down at the well. It was about noon.

    7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. “Give me a drink,” Jesus said to her, 8 because his disciples had gone into town to buy food.

    9 “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” she asked him. For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

    10 Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would ask him, and he would give you living water.”

    11 “Sir,” said the woman, “you don’t even have a bucket, and the well is deep. So where do you get this ‘living water’? 12 You aren’t greater than our father Jacob, are you? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock.”

    13 Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again. 14 But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again. In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up in him for eternal life.”

    15 “Sir,” the woman said to him, “give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and come here to draw water.”

    16  “Go call your husband,” he told her, “and come back here.”

    17 “I don’t have a husband,” she answered.

    “You have correctly said, ‘I don’t have a husband,’” Jesus said. 18 “For you’ve had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”

    19 “Sir,” the woman replied, “I see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem.”

    21 Jesus told her, “Believe me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know. We worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews. 23 But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and in truth.”

    25 The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

    26 Jesus told her, “I, the one speaking to you, am he.”

    • 5.      VBS 2024 is June 24-28! The Bible is such a special book because it is God's very Word!  It shows us the truth about who God is, who we are, and how we can have a relationship with Jesus.  Join us for a fun 80s and 90s-themed week, where children will grow to know and love the Bible through reading, seeing, saying, and singing Scripture.  Through games, crafts, Bible lessons, and lessons about missionaries, children will learn that as we delight in Scripture, Jesus is worshipped, and our lives are changed forever! Enroll your child on Church Center!


We make the gospel central.

We pursue gospel faithfulness by making Jesus Christ and His redeeming work for sinners the primary focus of everything we do. 

We live in biblical community.

Life is not meant to be lived alone. In fact, Christians are called by God to live in community with one another under the authority of His Word. 

we reproduce ourselves.

Following Christ means taking up mission and making disciples. We do this individually, through personal discipleship, and corporately, by planting and revitalizing churches. 

We've saved a seat for you.
