What Brushy Creek Baptist Church does

Brushy Creek Baptist Church is a religious nonprofit organization headquartered at 100 Clay St., Easley, South Carolina, affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention through the Cooperative Program and a member of the Piedmont Baptist Association. The church employs 42 staff including Senior Pastor Dr. Nick McClellan and a multi-disciplinary team spanning family ministry, student ministry, preschool operations, worship, administration, and facilities, and serves families across all life stages in the Upstate South Carolina region.

The church's core programming comprises Sunday worship services at 10:30 AM and Sunday School at 9:15 AM, supplemented by KidsCreek children's ministry (birth through 5th grade), Student Ministry for middle and high schoolers (Wednesdays 6:30-8 PM), Small Groups organized by family life phases, and a Weekday Preschool operating Monday-Thursday 9 AM-1 PM. The church maintains 10 mission partnerships spanning local outreach (Piedmont Women's Center, United Christian Ministries, FCA Pickens County, Sleep in Heavenly Peace) and global initiatives (Wycliffe Bible Translators, Gideons International, NAMB Prison Ministry). Digital distribution includes YouTube and Facebook live streaming of services, an email newsletter, a dedicated Student Ministry Instagram account, and a Family Hub microsite.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: voluntary tithes and offerings from the congregation, accepted in-person via secure offering boxes and online through the onRealm.org donation platform, and tuition from the Weekday Preschool program. No pricing is publicly disclosed. The church's growth model is community-led, relying on family-focused programming, volunteer engagement, and regional ministry partnerships rather than paid marketing or geographic expansion beyond the single Easley campus.
