About this church
Bethel Presbyterian Church in Walhalla, South Carolina, gathers for Sunday worship at 10:30 a.m. at 580 Bethel Church Road, with the service running until about 11:30. Founded in 1805, the church describes itself as the oldest and most historic church in Oconee County. Worship follows traditional Presbyterian patterns, with many familiar hymns, attention to the teachings and actions of Jesus, and preaching and prayer that engage the challenges of the modern world. Scripture readings are posted ahead of each Sunday, and visiting ministers sometimes lead worship.
Visitors are encouraged to linger after the service, tour the church and introduce themselves to the minister. The congregation marks the year with a Homecoming Sunday in late September, with a covered-dish lunch after worship, a Souper Bowl Sunday in February that raises an offering for a local charity, and a Christmas Eve candlelight service at 7 p.m. The grounds include a historic cemetery with nearly 600 memorials, among them Civil War veterans, and the website carries a detailed history of the congregation and its families. The site also has pages for Sunday school, volunteering and giving, and weather closures are announced on the events page. Confirm times on the website before visiting.
