New Ministry for Pastors, Wives, and Staff

We are starting a new ministry through the South Carolina Baptist Convention. Often pastor's wives just need someone to have a cup of coffee with and just share her heart knowing anything she shares will be held in confidence.


Melanie Ratcliffe is our part-time Women's Ministry Strategist for the Evangelism Group. Contact Melanie at (803) 530-4964 or email to melanieratcliffe@scbaptist.org.

SCBC has established a network for BIVO Pastors. Please contact Rev. Charles Jenkins, pastor of Memorial Baptist in Aiken, at 803-278-1288 or 706-339-5210 for more details!
