I have been at Embark for a little over a year now, and it has been a great experience. I have connected with new people, gotten involved with multiple ministries, and am excited about the upcoming community outreach that is about to take place. I proudly call Embark my church home. For a relaxed environment, friendly people, and true Bible teaching come visit Embark Church!

I love Embark Church. From the first time my family and I walked in; we felt like we were among family. Our family has grown closer to God spiritually through church, children's church, youth group and small group meetings. We also love it because you can be yourself and dress the way you feel comfortable. Please come try Embark out one Sunday.

I can not express how much I love this church, it's people and our Pastor! I have learned so much in our small groups, and building meaningful friendships along the way. Embark has provided me a means of being as active as I would like to be. A non traditional setting, awesome praise team and a genuine love of community. Just come as you are!

What a great church! A place to grow spiritually, raise your children, and become a part of such a wonderful community of believers that truly care about you. The small groups are amazing! The pastor and his family are great and the children's ministry is wonderful! This is THE place to be!

Oh can I begin to explain the love I have for the people who make up this church? I am so thankful I was led to such an awesome ministry, where the Word of God is taught and the building of disciples is the heart beat of the church. If you long for an authentic community of folks who love the Lord, folks who will help you unpack all the stuff we all carry that weighs us down, and where no perfect people are allowed, this is the church for you. Come and see for yourself. Sunday's 10:30 am at the YMCA in Orangeburg, SC.

I moved back to Orangeburg after being away for 17 years. I was involved in church family in Florida and North Carolina and I was longing for that relationship in Orangeburg. After moving back to Orangeburg I visited several churches in the area. Embark Church was what I was looking for. Embark Church teaches and stands for biblical truths. They feed you so that you can feed others. Love the Lord and love others. I am so blessed to be a part of Embark Church.

A great place to worship. If you are looking for a place to experience a community of believers that you can be a part of, this is the place for you. if you are simply searching for something and not sure what it is this is the place. Need prayer, questions answered, or a place to grow, this is the place...very warm and welcoming in a non-traditional environment. The Praise Band is awesome :)
