fbs downtown

Located in a beautiful historic downtown setting, Upstate Church / First Baptist Simpsonville gathers for three exciting worship services every Sunday morning. Regardless which service/style you attend, you can expect an hour of authentic worship and biblical teaching. We
are a multi-generational faith community that gathers to worship, grow, and connect with other believers. We are a church for the Upstate, and we are a church for you.

Location

Guest Parking

We have marked parking for our guests on Hedge Street. We would love for you to use them so your experience will be more comfortable and convenient to main entrances. Also, don’t hesitate to ask a parking volunteer or Host Team for additional help if you need it.

Host Teams Are Here For You

If you need a question answered or if you need someone to get you to a particular part of our buildings or campus, please look for a Host Team member wearing a lanyard; they would be more than happy to assist you.

For Kids and Students

We love kids here at FBS and our kid’s ministry is called Upstate Kids. Trained workers will see that your kids are loved, nurtured, and cared for while they have fun, make new friends, and learn more about God’s love for them.

Upstate Kids is for children from Birth – 5th grade. All of our childcare workers receive background clearances before working with us. Preschoolers (infant – K4) attend Sunday School while their parents attend worship service and Small Groups. For kids in grades 1-5, we offer Small Groups during the 10:00am service and Kids Praise during the 8:45am & 11:20am service.
MORE ON KIDS

Upstate Students have groups for grades 6-12. They all happen at 10:00am.

We provide dinner and childcare is available.
