Upstate Church Social Media

Starting March 1, we will shift our social media accounts to one unified account: Upstate Church.

This shift allows us to speak in one unified voice and focus our efforts through one channel to bring more people into a direct relationship with Christ!

Our unified account on Facebook and Instagram will speak to the whole church. All locations will have access to a Facebook Group and an Instagram Broadcast Channel where your location pastor and key leaders will have the ability to communicate directly with you!

Stay and Play

Stay and Play is a relaxed, indoor playtime designed to meet moms right where they are in the middle of busy seasons. Rain or shine, moms can enjoy coffee and snacks while their kids play in a safe, welcoming space with ride-on toys, parachutes, music, and open-ended play. It’s a simple, consistent place for connection, rest, and community for both moms and kids. This will be a great opportunity to get to know other moms as the little ones play together. If you have questions, email Taylor at [email protected].
