In September 1993 in a room rented from a bank building, Lowcountry Presbyterian Church began worshipping under the leadership of our organizing pastor, Dr. Frank R. Sells.  Before the year ended, the small congregation moved into its own sanctuary they built on ten acres of an undeveloped area near the tiny town of Bluffton, South Carolina - at that time, barely noticed by the locals and vacationers on their way to and from Hilton Head Island.  In June of the following year, the congregation of 88 members was formally chartered by the Presbyterian Church (USA) and Charleston-Atlantic Presbytery.

Today our church family numbers about 450 people, and our ministries extend throughout southern Beaufort County (including Sun City Hilton Head where many of our members reside).  To accommodate our growing membership and our expanded community outreach, we moved into a magnificent new sanctuary in October 2000, at our current location at the corner of Highway 278 and Simmonsville Road.  The original sanctuary has since been extensively remodeled and now serves as our Fellowship Hall and a meeting facility for several area organizations.  Both facilities are wheelchair-friendly and have "Wi-Fi" internet access.  Thanks to the Spirit-led generosity of our congregations through the years and the revenues received from the state and county in 2010-2011 for a portion of our property taken for highway improvements, the mortgage for our sanctuary was been paid in full in May 2011, and we are now debt-free.

Rev. Dr. Jerry Kramer served as the Senior Pastor for our congregation for approximately eight years.  Jerry brought outstanding pastoral skills in the areas of leadership, healing and enthusiasm.   A Midwesterner with nearly 40 years of experience serving in various pastoral positions, Jerry was previously the interim pastor for Providence Presbyterian Church on Hilton Head Island.  He and his wife Barbara continue to reside in Moss Creek Plantation.   In addition to their children and grandchildren, their special interests include golf, reading, furniture refinishing and travel.  In February 2011, Pastor Kramer announced to the congregation his decision to retire from the ministry, effective August 1, 2011.  On August 7, the congregation welcomed Rev. Dr. Robert G. McCreight as Interim Pastor.

Worship is the heart of our corporate life.  We offer two Sunday morning worship services, at 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM, with Sunday School for adults between the services, and for children during the second service, except during the summer.

Whether you are a visitor to our area, a new resident or a seasonal resident, we invite you to worship with us this Sunday - and we will make you feel welcome.  And, if you are seeking a church home, give us the opportunity to meet that need.  Either our Pastor or one of our Elders will be happy to talk with you.

We are a Stephen Ministry congregation.
