Jason's House is not an actual house. Its structure lies in Christian sympathy for families whose lives are stressed as they care for a child with life-threatenng disease. Jason's House reaches out to cancer-stricken children and their families. Each year children and their parents are identified in several states through a network of medical facilities in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. The children and their families are offered a one-week vacation in the Myrtle Beach area. Extensive community support is solicited and provided in the form of free lodging, meals and entertainment.

Upward, the world’s largest Christian sports program for children, was created with a vision to provide the best sports experience possible for every child. Each year some 1 million people around the world play, coach, referee, or volunteer in Upward sports leagues and camps hosted by more than 2,600 churches. Anyone – children and volunteers of any faith or no faith – can participate in Upward sports. Specifically designed for children in K5- sixth grade, Upward aims to bring out “the winner” in every child – regardless of the game’s score.

Our outreach to the Salkehatchie community is intended to help us demonstrate our love of God and improve the daily living of people in need. Each year our church sends a delegation to this community to provide housing improvements to those living in minimal conditions. Plumbing, carpentry, milllwork, roofing and similar support is given to needy persons/families to help better their living conditions. Our services also help us demonstrate our faith to others.

What Is A Columbarium?
Urns containing the cremated ashes of loved ones are placed in a wall of niches to create a Columbarium. The purchase of niches, like the purchase of cemetery plots, makes the Columbarium self-perpetuating and permanently maintained.

What Is A Memorial Wall?
Plaques in memory of loved ones not inurned in our Columbarium are placed along the brick wall within the Columbarium.

How Is The Columbarium Financed?
The Columbarium is self-sustaining, financed by a "Columbarium Fund," entirely separate and apart from our church's other finances.

How Does This Work?
Niches in the Columbarium walls are purchased by members of the church in the same way that cemetery plots are purchased. With the purchase of a niche, the members receive a folder containing the following:

   Contract for Purchase and Perpetual Care,
   Policy and Operating Rules,
   Certificate acknowledging the right of use indicating the specific niches and its location,
   Receipt for purchase.

Plaques in the Memorial Wall are placed with donations to the Columbarium Fund in memory of a loved one.

The church is responsible for the permanent maintenance of the Columbarium and its Memorial Wall. A permanent Columbarium Committee will oversee these responsibilities.

How Many Niches Will There Be?
There are 228 Columbarium niches in Phase I. Phase II will add an additional 360 for a total of 588 niches. Forty eight of the niches will hold up to three cremation urns. The remaining niches will hold one or two cremation urns.

How Much Does It Cost?
The price of each double niche is $2,300. The price of each triple niche is $2,500. The price includes the engraving of names and dates of birth and death for each inurned person. There is no additional charge for opening and closing niches.

Plaques on the Memorial Wall for persons interred elsewhere or whose remains are scattered may be obtained upon donation to the Columbarium Fund of $500 or more.

Purchase of Columbarium niches and arrangement for plaques may be made by application to the church office. With payment, the purchaser may select the desired niche location. Placement of the Memorial Wall plaques will be made by the Columbarium Committee in consultation with the family. Any further information you may need may also be obtained from the church office.
