Our Church History

FWC Florence — Mon, 05 May 2008 15:33:10 GMT

On Sunday, March 5th, 2000, Pastor Steven T. McCartt cast the vision of Family Worship Center. "We are not in Florence to build another church on the strength of programs, but this church will be built on the freedom and power of the Holy Spirit."

As people are attracted and brought into this environment of freedom, relationships with God and man are matured, and people are encouraged to submit their lives to the leading of the Spirit of God. This mission was stated to the group of people who attended the first service.

Since that time, our mission has not changed: to create a worship environment through Pentecostal community. As the church has grown and ministries have evolved, we have built, renovated and expanded to accommodate the growing congregation.

FWC Today
Family Worship Center currently has seven weekly services reaching throughout Florence and the surrounding communities. During the week, people are involved in prayer and are working to create a relevant and passionate experience.

Family Worship Center exists to see lives changed, relationships restored, miracles received, and to inspire families to dream big dreams and do big things for the Kingdom of God. Every weekend is a new beginning for those needing a fresh start and a challenge to those working to fulfill God's purpose for their life.
It is our commitment to attract seekers with a progressive, Pentecostal service, reach each member with the Word of God and the Spirit of God, and motivate our church community to influence the world.

Pastor Reggie Scarborough

Pastor Reggie Scarborough is the founder and pastor of Family Worship Center in Lakeland, Florida.

After deciding to follow the call of God upon his life, Pastor Reggie sold his home and businesses during the summer of 1983. He and his wife Bea moved their family to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to attend Rhema Bible Training Center. Upon graduation in 1985, they moved back to Lakeland to begin Family Worship Center.

Since 1985 Family Worship Center has grown from one hundred people into a nationally recognized mega-church. Pastor Reggie has committed his life to minister with excellence and passion. He is guided by the scripture: Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5 & 6

	Our Nursery Department serves families with children from birth through kindergarten age and is offered during all worship services. We provide a safe and clean environment for little ones. A strict policy is enforced throughout the entire Nursery Department to ensure your child's safety. Children are taught in a child-centered creative atmosphere designed to produce a pleasing learning experience. Parents can have the confidence of knowing that their little one will be provided a loving and safe environment while they are attending the adult service.
Celebration is for children in grades 1 through 6 and is offered during all worship services. Each Sunday morning, Godly truths and principles from the Bible are taught on a child's level of understanding through the means of characters, drama, object lessons, puppetry, music and videos. Your child will be challenged to not be "a spectator," but to get involved in ministry, to understand the importance of serving in the House of God as well as serving others, and using their talents to bring glory to God. Church is not BORING, church is FUN! Each week trained and caring adults teach Biblical principles and their applications through an interactive curriculum. Special activities and/or outings are scheduled throughout the year. Activities include our annual Halloween alternative (Hallelujah Night), pizza and gym night, and skating-just to name a few. Through these social events, your child can make new friends and develop lasting friendships, but most of all, have a warm sense of belonging to their church family. We welcome your child to Celebration
	Impact for Teens is offered for Junior and Senior High School students (grades 7 - 12). Impact meets every Wednesday night to experience God's awesome life-changing presence. Through interactive worship, friendships, videos, relevant teachings and drama we discover God's plan for our daily lives. As we connect with God, we also connect with each other. We find that by the Spirit of God we are a part of a big family. Our FWC Florence campus is blessed with it's own Youth Building, complete with air hockey, foosball, a pool table. The youth can also enjoy basketball, volleyball, and many other games outdoors. You will have a great place to meet your friends or find new ones. We provide many avenues for you to discover your gifts and use those abilities to reach your generation. We have a awesome time at IMPACT! Make Impact your destination!
An usher is a pastor or minister's helper who is called to the ministry of HELPS. An usher is a minister, called of God and equipped with skills, talents, wisdom, and the knowledge necessary to be a servant to everyone in the local church. People need ushering, as seen in I Corinthians 14:40 "Let all things be done decently and in order." The usher's role is a vital and important one. Quite often there are times when individuals come to Family Worship Center and the usher is the only one they have any direct contact with. To this person the usher is "the church," therefore, the impression set forth by that usher is a lasting one that could determine whether or not the individual will form a connection to the church and the pastor. The usher becomes a public relations representative for his church and his pastor. A person must feel wanted, comfortable, and important in order to be open to receive. One of the usher's chief responsibilities is to see that everyone has this feeling.
	In the greeters ministry, there are many areas in which a person can give their support and help to Pastor Steve. In this case, being a Greeter is a ministry in which one can effectively serve God and receive blessings of no limit. Being a Greeter is a love ministry in which we greet others with the agape love (God Kind). Receiving a person at the door with an attitude of love can minister to both the giver and receiver. Shaking a person's hand indicates welcome, but adding the true love of God can develop more than that. It can change a person's attitude whereby he or she can receive the Word of God in a more powerful and effective way.
FWC Florence is blessed to have one of the best music ministries in the state of South Carolina. Each week men and women from all walks of life come together to praise and worship God. The music ministry consists of our sanctuary, youth, and children's bands, as well as our sanctuary, youth and children's choirs. We have several other groups and ensembles. Also, we have several major choir, media, and drama productions.
