Wednesday night equip

We have Midweek options available every Wednesday night at our Simpsonville, Haywood, and Anderson Campuses beginning at 6pm

See below for our current short term groups. Studies will begin on August 17, 2022 and take place at the First Baptist Simpsonville Campus unless noted otherwise below. Sign up for any of these groups by clicking here.

Wednesday Night is for Reset and Equipping at our Simpsonville and Haywood campuses. We believe every adult can benefit from these Midweek opportunities!

  • Equipping Classes (SVL & HW) – Our church leadership has established equipping classes as an opportunity for believers to study specific aspects of the Christian Faith in order to form a Christian worldview. 
  • Wednesday Reset (SVL Only) – Each semester our Teaching Pastors use Wednesday nights to intentionally walk our church through areas of belief that impact our Christian life.

Other group options can be found on the Men’s and Women’s Ministry pages. If you have any questions about which group is right for you, contact Will Bray at [email protected]
