Upstate Church Five Forks

Campus expansion fund for a new home for UCFF

First Baptist Simpsonville | Upstate Church has experienced incredible growth, expanding our reach and connecting countless people to Jesus in the Upstate to change their world.  Every story of life change, gathering, and step of growth is a testament to God’s work in and through our church’s prayers, commitment, and generosity. 

It’s hard to believe that just six years ago, our church stepped out in faith to begin planning a campus in the growing community of Five Forks. What started as a small gathering has grown to hundreds of people—families, kids, students—each experiencing the love and hope of Christ every week. Now, as one church, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment where a more significant, permanent space is needed to continue reaching people in the Upstate. Let’s not let space limitations hold back what God wants to do next. Are you ready to be part of this mission?

Upstate Church Five Forks does not need to build a campus in the Five Forks Community, First Baptist Simpsonville | Upstate Church needs to build a campus in Five Forks. This is your church! We are ONE!

Where We Were

  • 50-person core group launched in 2019
  • First campus to be planted 

Where We Are

  • 3 Services
  • Limited space for growth
  • Maxed out Kids and Student space
  • Avg. 450+ Attendance each Sunday
  • Students currently meeting in a doctor’s office lobby and outside.

Where We Will Be

  • A new, permanent 27,000 square-foot campus
  • Opportunity to reach 130,000 people in 5-mile radius
  • Future HUB to launch future campuses into Greer, Taylors, Woodruff, and Reidville
  • 6 – Separate Adult Group spaces
  • 3X’s more Kids Space
  • Student Large Group Space and Group Rooms

With each new location and every person reached, we witness the power of connecting people to Jesus, transforming their lives and our communities. This mission isn’t just a vision—it’s a reality we get to experience together. But for it to continue and for more lives to be changed, we need the commitment and generosity of everyone in our church family.

Let’s move forward together, embracing this opportunity to reach more people, and prayerfully consider how we can stretch and give in ways that might be challenging, knowing that God honors our sacrifice. 

The cost of the Five Forks Campus is expected to reach $10 million. Together, we aim to raise $5 million through the generosity of our congregation, and we will secure the remaining $5 million through financing. We believe God is calling us to step forward in faith and generosity over and above our regular giving. Together, we have the privilege of investing in something that will change lives today and for decades to come.

As you pray and discern how God would ask you to give during this time, allow this giving chat to be a tool for you. Allow it to be something that inspires and challenges you towards greater generosity to fulfill our mission of connecting people to Jesus to change their world.
