Sen. Tim Scott: 5 things to know about this SC senator and 2024 presidential candidate
3. Member of Seacoast Church
While Scott drew upon his faith in a video that coincided with his campaign announcement Monday, he did not explicitly declare which church he belonged to. As indicated on the biography on his U.S. Senate webpage, Scott is a member of Seacoast Church of Charleston.
The church’s website describes the community as a group of “more than 14,000 attending every week at our 13 campuses.” The multi-campus church characterizes its vision as an effort to “reach unchurched people by speaking the language of the modern culture, and provide a place that encourages non-believers to investigate Christianity at their own pace.”
“We approach the historical Christian faith in a contemporary, unconventional way,” the church adds. “We’ve created a seeker-sensitive atmosphere that aims to welcome all people, no matter where they are in their spiritual journey.”
