What OCEAN DRIVE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH does

Ocean Drive Presbyterian Church (ODPC) is a 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit founded on April 25, 1947, and headquartered at 410 6th Avenue South in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The church operates two Sunday worship services — a Contemporary service at 9:15 AM and a Traditional service at 11:00 AM — serving a congregation of over 800 members, and has welcomed more than 580 new members since affiliating with ECO (A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians) in March 2016. Its ministry ecosystem includes ACCESS Youth (middle/high school), ODPC Kids (birth through 5th grade), Westminster Preschool (ages 14 months to 4 years, up to 52 students), Hope's Kitchen Mission (a weekly Tuesday community outreach providing meals and personal care services), men's and women's ministries, Bible study programs, and support for over 45 mission partners.

ODPC's technology infrastructure is built entirely on standard third-party platforms with no proprietary technology: the SnapPages website builder, the ACS Technologies PCI-compliant online giving and member portal, the Subsplash-based ODPC Church App on iOS and Android, Right Now Media (20,000+ Bible study and discipleship video library) for content distribution, Vimeo for sermon archival, and Facebook for live streaming of both services. Digital channels supplement but do not replace in-person ministry delivery.
