Why Access

So I've already been asked "Why do you think we need another church in Florence?" Good question. Ask God. Apparently He has a special purpose for something new in this city because 4 people have separately been given a God-sized vision. Only He can make it happen.
Will it be different from churches we have seen in Florence? Yes, in many ways, but we don't want that to be our focus or point. Starting now, in the very beginning, our hope is that when people think of Access Church they see a body of believers intentionally creating the best chances for those who are far from the Lord to meet and grow in Christ. And people that love Christ and are committed to making Florence the best it can be.
There are currently 4 of us on the Access team: Mark and Erika Chapman, Cookie and Chris Cawthon. If you are just tuning in, we have been meeting, praying, studying Scripture together for a little over a year. We currently meet weekly to pray, plan and watch God move. Sometimes it is slow external movement but that often is when He is moving the most quickly and deliberately internally.
We don't always know what He is going to do next, but we believe His end goal is Access Church in Florence, SC.
We are going to take turns updating this site with music, quotes, Scripture and info that He is using in our lives. Should be interesting! Stay tuned and we would love to hear from you! We hope to put up new posts every other week.
