Our Story

As disciples of Jesus Christ, the mission of Grassy Pond Baptist Church is to fulfill the teachings of our Lord by sharing His love and salvation with our community and world through education, fellowship, ministry, witness, and worship.

The church was founded in 1879 and is affiliated with the South Carolina Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention. The current sanctuary building is the third at this site.  Additions have been added as  needs have grown, and our vision is to continue growing as the Lord directs. A complete history has been recorded and can be borrowed upon request from Pastor Mark Gregory.

We get involved sharing His love with our community through ministry in various ways: Our Disaster Relief Team responds to disasters in our county, state, country, and in other countries.
We have a dedicated team delivering Meals on Wheels.  We provide the meal and staff the Soup Kitchen in Gaffney quarterly and much more.

Many years ago, near the intersection of Highway 150 and Grassy Pond Road, there was a 3-acre pond. The community around it became known as Grassy Pond. According to a 1967 article in the Gaffney Ledger, (reprinted September 11, 2019), "the pond covered around three acres, contained no fish, and was a haven for frogs and mosquitos." The pond was eventually filled in and farmed and is now overgrown with wild Bradford pear trees, but the community and our church retain the name.

The trees are a beautiful white forest when they are blooming in the spring.
