Greenville Associate Reformed Presbyterian (ARP) Church

What Greenville Associate Reformed Presbyterian (ARP) Church does

Greenville Associate Reformed Presbyterian (ARP) Church is a private, nonprofit congregation of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church denomination, operating from a single downtown campus at 741 Cleveland Street, Greenville, South Carolina. The church adheres to the Westminster Standards and runs a multi-generational ministry portfolio that includes Sunday worship (10:55 a.m.), Sunday School for all ages (9:45 a.m.), Wednesday night programs with dinner, a K1–K4 Day School, youth D-Groups, children's choirs, men's and women's Bible studies, a Chancel Choir, and intramural basketball leagues across five age tiers. Its primary audience is local congregants — women, men, children, youth, and adults/families in the Upstate South Carolina region — with a secondary global audience reached through the SermonAudio livestream of Sunday services and supported missionary work in countries including Pakistan, Mexico, Chile, Germany, and others via the World Witness foreign missions agency.

The church's technology footprint is modest and entirely composed of third-party, off-the-shelf tools rather than proprietary platforms: a Squarespace-style content website at greenvillearp.com, SermonAudio for livestream broadcasting, Church Center for online giving, and CCB Church for member directory and church management. There are no native mobile apps, no AI/ML components, and no APIs or developer-facing integrations. Operational data — including attendance, membership size, contributions, and headcount — is not publicly disclosed.

The church is funded through voluntary tithes and offerings from members, both in-service and via the Church Center online giving platform, supplemented by tuition from the GARP Day School. There are no disclosed pricing structures for worship services, no formal membership tiers, and no external investors or capital campaigns described. Governance is congregational, with elected elders and deacons operating under the denominational ARP Church structure. Day-to-day leadership comprises a Senior Pastor (Todd Matocha, since 2021), Associate Pastor of Congregational Care (Philip Bunch), Director of Music and Administrative Assistant (T. J. Ellis), Director of Youth Ministries (Annie Grace McCarty), Day School Coordinator (Erica Wingate), Director of Children's Choirs (Cheri Owensby), Organist (David Coleman), and an Accountant (Evelyn Hargett).
