Baptist Church
Connie Maxwell Baptist Church is located on the Greenwood campus at 215 Terrell Smith Avenue in Greenwood, South Carolina. While Connie Maxwell Baptist Church is a part of Connie Maxwell Children’s Ministries, it is also a community church whose doors are open to all people. The vision of Connie Maxwell is to be a healthy, effective, and growing church that is also exciting so that people of all ages and demographics are excited to gather to worship and grow together in their walk with Christ. Our Sunday Morning worship time is currently from 10:30am -11:30am. Our services are also streamed through the church’s YouTube channel which you can find at the link below. Due to the current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, that is subject to change and is also the only weekly meeting we currently offer.
