Experience Jesus and the power of his presence
Nondenominational Church in Hanahan, 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.

Whether you're looking to worship at a new nondenominational church in Hanahan, SC, or you simply need a warm, welcoming place to meet new people without judgment, Pavilion North is here to help.

When you boil it down to the basics, we believe that God established our nondenominational church in Hanahan, SC, to be a place of refuge and salvation. In scripture, the word Pavilion is defined as a place where the presence of God dwells. In His presence, we can be transformed and find everything we need to live the abundant life Jesus came to give us. If you're thinking to yourself, "Sure, that sounds great, but I've never been religious and have never been to church," know that you and every person are welcome at Pavilion North. Our prayer is that every person that enters through our doors can experience the grace, power, and love of Jesus Christ in a new way.
We help spread that message by leaning on our values, which include:
Love
The greatest commandment is to Love God & Love People (Mark 12:30,31)
Prayer
My house shall be called a house of Prayer. (Luke 19:46)
Grace
We are saved by grace through faith. (Ephesians 2:8)
Faith
Faith is confidence in what we hope for. (Hebrews 11:1)
One feature that sets us apart from other churches in Hanahan is the fact that we are nondenominational. If you're used to denominations like Baptists and Methodists or are unfamiliar with denominations in general, this phrase might be new to you. Let's dive a little deeper into what our nondenominational status means.
What is a Nondenominational Church in Hanahan, SC?
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 Hanahan, 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.

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 Hanahan, 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
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.
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.
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 Hanahan, SC. No matter what goal you choose, continue to set them and acknowledge each accomplishment as a victory.
Contact Us
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.
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.

HANAHAN, S.C. (WCIV) — Learning how to save lives one class at a time is the goal of a course at Hanahan Middle School.
"Our principal came to me last year , wanting to start a new class," teacher Susan Hill said. "And we did."

The new class, called Introduction to Health Professions, brings the medical world to the classroom.
"We go through a lot about the body systems, different tools used by health professionals, and different types of jobs," Hill said.
For students to get a complete understanding of what it’s like to work in the medical field, health professionals from the community are invited to come speak, including Rodney Profit, a training captain with Boeing Security and Fire.
Learning about these jobs isn't the only takeaway for the students; they leave the course certified in basic life support.

"We do everything from adult child infant, CPR, choking first aid, and AED usages to get these students certified in basic life support," Profit said. "Students are given a chance to kind of look and explore what's out there for them and letting them know that there are no hurdles. If there are any hurdles, they can transverse those hurdles, but no one can tell them they can't do what they want to do.”
This encouragement has left students with the world at their fingertips.
"This has opened a lot more like pathways," student Lianny Martinez said.
Student, Savannah Wika said, "I would say it really like helped me realize what I really want to do for like a job. It really opened up what's happening when you go to the hospital."

The course also includes off-campus field trips. The class recently visited Charleston Southern University (CSU), where students got a tour of the campus.
For Hill, she believes each and every one of the students are more than capable of accomplishing their dreams.
"I just hope they understand how valuable they are and what a future they have," she said. "They have their whole lives in front of them and I'm just really excited to see what they do with that."
Hill says she could not be prouder of her students and teaching them has been a rewarding experience.

Musicians and business owners across the Charleston area will be celebrated for their achievements at the annual Lowcountry Music Hall of Fame.
The idea to create a local celebration for the area’s musicians came from Michael Davis in 2015. Davis owns the 25-plus-year-old Ye Olde Music Shop in Hanahan. The store is advertised as the largest Gibson, Fender, Martin, Taylor and Paul Reed Smith dealer in South Carolina. Davis was inspired by his business and customers to create a new Lowcountry tradition that went beyond his beloved shop.
The Hall of Fame has inducted several well-known Charleston artists, as well as some “unsung heroes” who can benefit from the recognition. The inaugural ceremony in 2015 inducted local music stores, politicians and music schools, with the tradition continuing into 2023.
The Lowcountry Hall of Fame will introduce 15 artists, business owners and radio personalities into the 2023 catalogue.
Attendees can enjoy food trucks, music mastery and good times with local music lovers at the induction ceremony for the 2023 Lowcountry Music Hall of Fame at 1 p.m. Oct. 22 at the Hanahan Amphitheater, 3100 Amphitheater Ave.

HANAHAN — In the long and storied history of the state’s oldest spring-break high school baseball tournament, the host of the Hanahan Invitational Tournament had never won the championship. That changed on Thursday night.
Hanahan High defeated Berkeley, 12-5, to win the Steadman Division of the 54th annual Hanahan Invitational Tournament (HIT), marking the first time the Hawks had been able to hoist their own trophy.
Hanahan overcame an early 4-0 deficit, rallying for their 19th win in 21 games this season. The Hawks are the top-ranked team in Class AAA and the defending Lower State champions.
“I knew this team was special going into it and they played like it,” said Hanahan’s first-year head coach Skylar Hunter, himself a Hanahan graduate. “I am proud of the way they played. It was definitely a good night. We definitely wanted to win this thing. It was a goal.”
Hanahan sophomore centerfielder Sterling Coaxum was the tournament’s most valuable player, belting three home runs, including two grand slams, during the week.
Berkeley struck for four runs in the top of the first inning, with Bryson Heath delivering two runs with a double and Gavin Gaskins scoring Heath with a double.
Hanahan responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning as Riley Turner and Jacob Bunting delivered run-scoring safeties.
Berkeley added a run in the second on Mason Salisbury’s RBI single, giving the Stags a 5-2 lead, chasing Hanahan starting pitcher Porter Sprovero.
“If I’m being honest, with our guys, there really was no concern,” Hunter said of the early deficit. “We were playing a little flat so we had to dig into them a little bit, light the fire. They responded.”
With his two top pitchers unable to pitch, Cox went with sophomore Keller Wofford on the mound. Wofford pitched admirably in his first-ever varsity start but ran out of gas in the third. He allowed three earned runs in 2⅔ innings.
Hanahan took advantage of two Berkeley errors and posted five runs in the third. Bunting tripled in two runs to trim the deficit to 5-4. Hanahan added three more runs in the frame to move ahead, 7-5.

HANAHAN, S.C. (WCIV) — A Hanahan family is getting an outpouring of support after losing everything in a house fire.
A fire spread through the Stewarts' Rembert Drive home Sunday in the blink of an eye. Neighbor Mike Hinson said he dropped what he was doing to help because he knew it was right.
"Meghan was in a panic," Hinson said. "I brought the kids in, found them something to watch on TV, and made them a little snack just to kind of get their minds off stuff."
A fire gutting their home is just the latest obstacle for Meghan had Bobby Stewart.

Meghan fought breast cancer for five years.
Bobby is recovering from surgery.
Long-time neighbor Hinson said he had to help his fellow neighbors, remembering the support the family gave him when his wife had cancer.
"Two years ago, my wife passed away, and so many people come together for me," Hinson said. "You can't give that back. She helped my wife, Sheila, get through it the best that she could. And we did the same for her, just returning what it is that we had borrowed."
His front porch is now a sort of landing zone.
People are stopping by with bags filled with clothes and shoes for the kids, toiletries, and other items.

All to make life a little easier for the Stewarts.
Hinson said this is what the Hanahan community is all about.
"These people right here are the people who are doing it for the right reasons," Hinson said. "You know, it's coming from the heart. All in all, if nothing else, they feel a lot of love."
A GoFundMe for the Stewarts was created. It can be seen here.
