Our Story

More than forty years ago . . .

14 people came together, prayerfully seeking the Lord’s will for a PCA church on Hilton Head Island. The Lord used those prayers to give birth to a new church on the island. On September 19, 1982, Hilton Head Presbyterian Church was officially formed.

For the next twelve years, God led HHPC through a variety of meeting spaces as the church met in schools, bars, bowling alleys, and retirement homes. Through it all, God was faithful to strengthen and to grow the church. Although there were many trials and struggles along the way, God’s grace was evident in the lives of the church members.

On Christmas Eve, 1994, HHPC held its first worship service at 235 William Hilton Parkway. At that point, 25 families made up the entire membership of the church. By God’s grace and the work of the Holy Spirit, God continued to grow the church until there was an absolute need to enlarge the sanctuary. In 2000, a new sanctuary was built, further enabling the church to serve as God’s instrument on Hilton Head Island.

Over the years, the Lord has continued to shape and grow our church. In 2024, we revisited and clarified our mission and vision, reaffirming our calling to multiply the worship, renewal, and community of Jesus in the Lowcountry and beyond.

As part of that renewal, we shared how the Lord is leading us to broaden our gospel witness by forming a network of like minded congregations across the Lowcountry over the next ten years. This vision allows us to serve more people and places while remaining rooted in faithful, local congregations.

We look forward with gratitude and trust as God continues to do His work among us.
