Nondenominational Church in Charleston, SC

When making significant changes in your life, it's inevitable that both joys and challenges will arise. While it can be thrilling to embark on new adventures, such as starting a new job or moving to a new city, there may also be moments of isolation and regret. These moments can leave you feeling lonely and even depressed, especially when you have a lack of interpersonal communication or physical contact.

If you're like us, it's hard to imagine life without heartfelt hugs from family or deep conversations with your best friends. Unfortunately, moving to a new city or state may mean giving up those luxuries for a while. So, what should your next steps be? For many people, one of the first tasks to accomplish is finding a new place to meet people. But that's easier said than done, especially when you're trying to impress at a new job or feel like you don't belong in a new city like Mount Pleasant. You may be asking yourself questions like:

  • Will locals accept me?
  • Will I stick out like a sore thumb since I'm from a different state with a different accent?
  • Is it even worth trying to go out when I don't know anybody?
  • Is it normal to feel alone or even have feelings of depression now that I'm in a new city?
  • Where can I go to meet new people where I won't be judged or cast aside?

If you're struggling to hit the ground running now that you're living in the Lowcountry, know that you're not alone. At Pavilion North Church, we know the challenges and fears you're facing. We see them every day. But there's Good News to celebrate: By putting your faith in God, you can rediscover the power of trust, patience, strength, and faith. And that's incredibly important, especially if you feel like life is pointless right now. Whether you're looking to worship at a new nondenominational church in Charleston, SC, or you simply need a warm, welcoming place to meet new people without judgment, Pavilion North is here to help.

In scripture, the word Pavilion is defined as a place where the presence of God dwells.

Let's dive a little deeper into what our nondenominational status means.

What is a Nondenominational Church in Charleston, SC?

head-bot-style

Nondenominational churches are Christian churches that choose not to hold a connection to recognized denominations such as Lutheran, Presbyterian, Catholic, etc. Nondenominational churches do not follow the directives of larger denominational organizations and make their own decisions on various parts of church life. They emerged during the latter half of the 20th century, primarily in the United States, out of a desire for independence and a return to the biblical basics of Christianity. The reasons for their establishment vary, but many founders sought to separate themselves from the doctrinal and sometimes political affiliations of long-established denominational churches.

What are the Beliefs of Nondenominational Christians?

First things first: Every nondenominational church and church body will have a slightly different answer to this question. Generally speaking, however, nondenominational Christians believe that the Bible should be the ultimate authority when it comes to teaching, worship, and other aspects of church life.

Unlike denominational churches, nondenominational churches do not follow the exact beliefs set out by a larger organization. Instead, they rely on scripture to guide their beliefs and practices. Nondenominational churches are often led by members of the church congregation, reflecting a belief that a church is a community of believers rather than a hierarchy. They believe that doctrines formulated through interpretation and annotation of the scriptures are not necessary and can sometimes distract from God's word.

If you're interested in attending our nondenominational church in Charleston, SC, and are curious about what makes us different from other, more traditional churches, it would be our pleasure to sit with you and discuss our statement of beliefs.

Dealing with Loneliness in a New City

When it comes to loneliness, there are both good and bad ways of coping. Some folks choose to become workaholics, spending every waking hour dedicated to work, work, work. This self-defeating choice often results in waking up before the sun, working all day, and going to bed completely exhausted. While good for financial reasons, this method results in emotional and physical burnout.

Others focus on material items - they buy everything they can get their hands on because they mistakenly believe that more "things" will make them happy. Unfortunately, "things" do nothing to satisfy your desire for human connection and less loneliness. Would your "things" make you feel happy on an island where there's no human contact?

Others cheat on their partners, experiment with drugs and alcohol, or pitch pity parties for themselves, all to no avail. So what is the solution if you've been feeling lonely since moving to Mount Pleasant, SC? All we have to do is look to the Bible - and specifically Paul - for answers. In the Bible, Paul must confront loneliness head-on, and he does so in ways that are very applicable to modern situations like yours.

Use Your Time Positively

If you're feeling lonely, it's important to stay productive and make the most of your time. Don't allow loneliness to immobilize you. Instead, find a way to make the best of the situation. Remember the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Do whatever it takes to combat loneliness. Take a cue from Paul, who didn't allow himself to wallow in self-pity.

Despite being in prison, he asked for his coat and books so he could stay warm and use the time for writing and studing. This was a significant shift for Paul, who was an active church planter. Although he would have preferred to be preaching in the Colosseum, he recognized that God could use his loneliness for good. It's essential to take care of yourself when you're lonely, so don't neglect your personal needs. With the right mindset and approach, you can turn a negative situation into a positive one.

Know That God is Present

When dealing with loneliness, recognizing God's presence is a helpful approach. According to Paul, God provided him with strength and was with him always. Jesus also reassured his followers that they would never be alone. God himself promised to never leave nor forsake us.

David, who experienced loneliness himself, found comfort in his fellowship with God. He recognized that loneliness was an opportunity to grow closer to God. Instead of giving in to the temptation to do nothing, as Paul did, we should focus on making our time count by spending it in fellowship with God.

Remember, you can supplement your relationship with God and help combat loneliness by worshiping with others. If you're new to Mount Pleasant, our nondenominational church in Charleston, SC, will welcome you with open arms and with a heart full of joy. Simply being in the presence of positive, faithful people can have a huge impact on your mental health, regardless of how active or aloof you wish to be in church functions.

Be Empathetic

One effective way to cope with loneliness is by showing empathy toward the needs of others. Instead of being self-centered, shift your focus towards those around you who may also be feeling lonely. Consider reaching out and helping them in any way you can.

A great example of this is Paul, who dedicated his life to serving others and spreading the word of God. Despite facing loneliness towards the end of his life, he remained committed to his goal of helping people in need. As he once said, "The Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it." (2 Timothy 4:17)

How to Find Happiness When You Feel Hopeless

head-bot-style

At Pavilion North, we worship with many people who question the purpose of their existence and whether their actions hold any significance. With all the trials and tribulations in modern times, it's easy to forget that God designed a plan for us to experience growth and joy - to live by faith and, ultimately, to return to His presence. Despite the plan God has for them, many Americans feel less happy than ever - only 14% of people felt "very happy" in 2020, according to the University of Chicago.

Whether you're religious or not, if you're struggling to find meaning in your life, keep these tips in mind to help you find happiness.

Your Personal Journey

Think of Life as Your Personal Journey

Life is often compared to a journey, and while it may sound cliché, this perspective can actually give us a sense of purpose in our everyday lives. A prime example is Mike Signorelli, who was once an atheist but later discovered religion and became the founding pastor of V1 Church, a thriving congregation in the New York City region. However, you don't have to undergo a religious conversion to experience a similar awakening. Simply shifting your mindset and approach to the world can lead to a meaningful journey of self-discovery.

Weekly Goal

Give Yourself a Small Weekly Goal

Set a small goal for yourself every week. It could be something as easy as 15 minutes of self-reflection or promising that you will visit a nondenominational church in Charleston, SC. No matter what goal you choose, continue to set them and acknowledge each accomplishment as a victory.

Contact Us
Extracurricular Activities

Try Extracurricular Activities Where You Live

Whether it's a professional group, a Sunday school meetup outside church, a Bible study book club, or a neighborhood association, getting involved and meeting new people can add value to your life and create lasting connections. It doesn't matter what form it takes - the important thing is to build relationships and be an active member.

Inspire You

Emulate Those Who Inspire You

Find inspiration from mentors, famous individuals who you admire, or even an exceptional parent that you've noticed in a new neighborhood you live in. Observe the world from their perspective, absorb their experiences, and expand your self-awareness. At Pavilion North, we strive to emulate Jesus Christ and, through Him, positively affect others who may feel down, out, or like their life has no meaning.

South Carolina boasts one of the nation’s best food cities — and a top restaurant to enjoy a meal, new rankings show.

Charleston ranks No. 6 on a list of the “Top US Cities for Food and Drinks” and No. 9 among the top places to get baked goods.

The popular travel destination also is home to the Chubby Fish seafood restaurant, which landed at No. 7 on a separate list of the nation’s best places to eat, according to results Food & Wine magazine published Tuesday, April 2.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Chubby Fish (@chubbyfishchs)

The magazine created its rankings after turning to its editors as well as travel and dining experts. They chose their favorite “cities, hotels, cruises, airports, bakeries, and airlines for food and drink” across the nation and the globe, the magazine wrote in a news release and told McClatchy News in an email.

The resulting list of “Global Tastemakers” award winners is described as a “celebration of the best culinary destinations in the U.S. and abroad.”

In the U.S. food and drink category, Charleston was named one of “the finest food cities in the country” after earning top spots on similar lists. This time around, Food & Wine praised the city for its restaurants’ takes on Southern staples, such as okra and barbecue.

“Given its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, Charleston is renowned for its fresh seafood and abundance of notable raw bars,” Food & Wine wrote in its report.

Charleston also made its mark among the top places for bakeries, as the magazine gave the city nods for boasting “distinctive” shops serving French bread, sticky buns and other treats.

In Charleston, one restaurant in particular also ranked among the nation’s best. Though it’s in a region loaded with seafood joints, the magazine said Chubby Fish received the national honor “both for its sustainable sourcing practices and a delicious menu that dodges expectations,” including the fan-favorite grilled oysters.

When it comes to restaurants, “it’s not just the delicious flavors but also the ambience, hospitality, and overall package that make a place stand out among the rest,” the magazine wrote in its report.

Nationwide, the top-ranking place for food and bakeries was New York City. Anajak Thai in Los Angeles ranked the highest when it came to restaurants.

The breakout player of the year shares the spots she’ll hit during her hometown Credit One Charleston Open

April 2, 2024

When Emma Navarro takes the court at the Credit One Charleston Open tennis tournament this week, she’ll do so as a serious title contender for the first time. The twenty-two-year-old has won more matches this year than any other player in the draw, netting her first professional title and a top twenty debut on the Women’s Tennis Association singles rankings. Her breakout has surprised the whole tennis world, including herself. “I definitely did not expect to be [in the] top twenty the first few months of the year,” she says, “and when I take a step back and acknowledge it, it’s pretty crazy.”

After playing tournaments in five countries since January, Navarro is excited to come home. “Charleston is my favorite city in the world,” she says. “I love to walk around downtown and see the houses and say good morning or good evening to the people.” This will be her only chance to compete on the sandy green-clay courts she grew up on. Charleston is the lone women’s tournament played on the surface, and the 2021 NCAA champ built her game to suit it at Charleston’s Live to Play Academy over the last fifteen years. Advantage Emma.

The event, which takes place at Credit One Stadium on Charleston’s Daniel Island, isn’t merely her hometown tournament (as it is, too, for Charleston native Shelby Rogers, also in the draw). It’s Navarro’s second home—the competition is owned by her father Ben Navarro’s company Beemok Sports & Entertainment. The kinship adds to the pressure of playing in front of so many family and friends. But don’t hold back if you go to cheer at one of her matches. Navarro, a naturally relaxed competitor, embraces the nerves. She hopes Charleston fans help her conjure the new emotions she has felt on court this year, like when she took the lead against Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka late in their match at the Indian Wells tourney in March. “The crowd erupted,” she recalls. “I’m playing against the number two player in the world on center court and the crowd is on its feet. I got chills in that moment.” She coolly closed out the match, the biggest upset of the tournament.

The hype soared afterward, and now Navarro isn’t sneaking up on anyone. No one will be surprised if she wins the Charleston Open—or makes the U.S. Olympic team this summer. Here she shares some of her favorite things to do in town. A week communing with these old favorites might be just what she needs to lift her second trophy.

Morning

“My dogs, Marti and Major Tom, love Sullivan’s Island. They love to swim and harass other dogs on the beach. There are certain hours when you have to keep them on the leash, so I try to go early. And whenever I come home, I try to get a bagel from Holey City Bagels. They’re the best bagels in Charleston. My order is a sausage, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. Second State Coffee is my favorite coffee shop.”

A post shared by Holey City Bagels (@holeycitybagels)

Afternoon

“The Credit One tournament is the best [of its size] in the world. It has all kinds of interactive activities, like measuring the speed of your serve. The food is great and there are all kinds of areas to sit in the shade and have a drink. I like to shop, so I’ll also take a trip to King Street. You can’t go wrong there. There are all kinds of athletic shops that I’m not supposed to wear because Fila gets me right. I usually play golf at Daniel Island [Club], but I golf lefty even though I play right-handed. So if I play too much golf, it messes with my backhand.”

Evening

Colonial Lake is my stomping grounds. I live near there, and it’s nice to walk around during sunset hours. My grandfather [football coaching legend Frank Navarro] passed away a few years ago. He and my grandmother liked to sit on a certain bench and people-watch. We put a plaque at the bench for him, so if Grammy is in town, we always visit their bench. There’s one restaurant that I’ve been recommending to players this year: My dad opened an Italian restaurant called Sorelle. I get the spaghetti, with thick-cut noodles, tomato sauce, burrata, and little crispy zucchini pieces. It’s the simplest thing on the menu but I’d say the best.”

Former champion Sloane Stephens sailed through her Credit One Charleston Open first round in just 66 minutes, defeating Magdalena Frech 6-0, 6-2 to set up a clash with No.14 seed Leylah Fernandez.

Stephens had won both of her previous encounters with Frech, but the most recent had been a three-set barnburner in the first round of Parma 2022, which she won 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. There were no such struggles in the rematch on her home soil.

The 31-year-old dropped just 12 points in the first set, lost serve only once at the start of the second set and struck 16 winners to 13 unforced errors, with her off forehand firing particularly smoothly.

Frech has had some career-best results in 2024 so far, reaching the fourth round of a major for the first time at the Australian Open and cracking the Top 50 as a result. However, the Pole was unable to find a way to hit through Stephens, committing 18 unforced errors to only five winners, and is now on a five-match losing streak after today's loss.

Stephens, the 2017 US Open champion, will next face the 2021 US Open finalist in Fernandez. The Canadian has won all three of their prior encounters at Monterrey 2020, Lexington 2020 and the Grampians Trophy 2021, the latter two in straight sets. However, this will be their first meeting on clay.

"My arch-nemesis in my mind," said Stephens with a laugh in the on-court interview. "I'm just going to come out here and try to play my best on a new surface."

While Stephens progressed, another American former Grand Slam champion fell at the first hurdle. Taylor Townsend ousted 2020 Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin 6-3, 6-3 in 1 hour and 22 minutes.

It was the second encounter in Charleston between the two compatriots: Kenin had prevailed 6-4, 6-3 in the first round of qualifying in 2017, and had won three of their previous four matches overall. However, Townsend delivered an impeccable serving performance, dropping just three points behind her first serve and getting broken only once. Kenin has won just one of 10 matches in 2024 so far, and is now on an eight-match losing streak.

No.68-ranked Townsend will next face No.6 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova, who is fresh off a run to the Miami semifinals last week. Alexandrova leads their head-to-head 2-0, winning both previous encounters on hard courts in three sets last year.

Meanwhile, Amanda Anisimova of the United States joined Wozniacki in the second round. In a clash between former Charleston semifinalists, Anisimova defeated Alize Cornet of France 6-3, 6-0 in 1 hour and 25 minutes on Monday.

Anisimova will now face her fellow American and No.1 seed Jessica Pegula in a marquee second round.

Later in the evening, the 22-year-old American qualifier American qualifier Katie Volynets saved two match points before closing out 54th-ranked Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands 6-2, 6-7(6-8), 7-6(8-6).

It was the new longest WTA tour match of the season with 3 hours and 43 minutes running time. The match lasted one minute longer than the previous longest match of this year, which was Beatriz Haddad Maia's 3-hour and 42-minute victory over Magda Linette in the Abu Dhabi second round.

Volynets will now take on a fellow American in the second round Emma Navarro, the No.10 seed.

Home hope Shelby Rogers opened the night session with a 6-1, 6-1 decisive win over fellow American Claire Liu.

Other winners Monday included Magda Linette and Daria Saville in singles, while Madison Keys and Taylor Townsend teamed up for a doubles win over the No.3 seeds Miyu Kato and Aldila Sutjiadi 6-1, 2-6, 10-7.

CARTA considering 6-acre lease proposal for park-and-ride at Ladson fairgrounds

LADSON, S.C. (WCSC) - The Exchange Club of Charleston and the Coastal Carolina Fair have proposed a compromise on a mass transit park-and-ride facility at the fairgrounds.

Exchange Club officials said they presented the idea of a lease for six acres of land at the north end of the fairgrounds property on Highway 78.

Officials presented the proposal to CARTA on March 20 before their 1 p.m. board meeting.

The deal would ask CARTA to pay $800,000 a year to build a park-and-ride service on Lot 1E instead of the proposed Lot 1A, which is a primary parking zone for the yearly fair.

“Having the park and ride between gate one and gate two will reduce our ability to park approx. 30-35,000 patrons,” Exchange Club of Charleston representative Mike Jernigan says.

CARTA representatives say the proposal has moved locations twice in its four years of discussion. They claim Lot1E is not federally approved, while Lot 1A is. They say changing locations again could delay the timeline for the overall project, which is set to be completed in 2029.

CARTA has received a lease proposal for six acres at the fairgrounds that have not been approved by the Federal government. The offer remains under review by transit agency officials.The offered parcel is separate from six acres identified by the fair in 2022 and approved through a Federal public review process in 2023. That approval marked the conclusion of the second time in four years CARTA moved its proposed park-and-ride location at fair leaders’ request. At this time, no proposal has been received on the Federally approved parcel.

The overall goal would be to allot $625 million to start a rapid transit system at the Exchange Park and extend it to portions of downtown Charleston. The proposed plan would create 21 stops and three park-and-ride stations.

The system would be a first regional experience of its kind for the area. The proposed area on the fairgrounds would hold 300-plus parking spots, access points for both buses and vehicles and a detention pond.

Jernigan is one of many who has pushed back on plans from the transit agency to build on the park’s land. The group created a “Save the Fair” initiative months ago with the intention of making changes to the deal.

Community members grew concerned how the service would impact existing traffic congestion and revenue for the fair, which is all-volunteer based and contributes money to Lowcountry charities.

By offering this additional plan, they hope both groups can create “good neighborship.”

“We’re ready to move this forward at a quick pace and put this behind us,” Jernigan says.

CARTA says they have received the proposal and it is under review by transit agency officials.
