Wellford Church is located in Spartanburg County, which is one of the fastest growing counties in the nation with new housing developments constantly popping up just to keep pace with demand. Situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains in Upstate South Carolina, this area provides plenty of opportunities to get outdoors–or if the arts and food scenes are more your thing, the cities of Greenville, Spartanburg, and Greer are just minutes away. We are also surrounded by colleges and universities with Converse, Wofford, USC Upstate, and North Greenville all within 30 minutes of our campus. Needless to say, we are in a prime area for intentional gospel proclamation and kingdom advancement.
