South Carolina is full of churches, so why plant more? In this final episode of our church planting series, host Dylan Baxter talks with Tony Wolfe and Cliff Marshall about what God is doing in South Carolina today. They discuss a fast-growing state, the people moving in who have never engaged with the Gospel, and why healthy churches reproduce. They also explain what SCBaptist’s new SendSC agreement with the North American Mission Board means for the future of church planting here.
