About Us

Mayesville Presbyterian Church is located in the historic farming community of Mayesville, South Carolina.  Between the years 1875 and 1880 settlers in Mayesville who had come down from Virginia and up the Black River from the coastal region recognized the need for a church in the community.  A majority of those settlers were attending the Salem Black River Presbyterian Church and Mount Zion Presbyterian church.  After an application to form a church was made to the Harmony Presbytery at their fall meeting in October of 1880, Mayesville Presbyterian Church was organized in January of 1881.

In the mid 1980’s Mayesville became a congregation of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church.  The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church was organized in Philadelphia on November 1, 1782 with the merger of Associate Presbyterians and Reformed Presbyterians both of which originated in Scotland. 

Mayesville Presbyterian Church is theologically reformed in what we believe and teach.  We believe the Bible to be God’s word, infallible and inerrant in all that it teaches. We are a confessional church in that we believe that the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms accurately summarize the teaching of scripture and the theological foundations upon which we stand.  Our church government is Presbyterian and Calvinistic in doctrine. 
We are thankful that God has led you to our website.  We hope that it is a helpful introduction to our church and we invite you to visit us. 

Our earnest prayer for you, whether you are discovering us for the first time, or you are a regular visitor to our website is that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of your life and that you may grow in grace and in the knowledge of Him.

Reverend Brian Peake
