What is Three Strands?
Three Strands is a non-denominational, Christian Church, in the West Simpsonville/Mauldin area that’s dedicated to destroying negative stereotypes about church. At Three Strands the messages aren’t boring, the music is cool, the dress is casual (we save our good t-shirts for Sunday) and nobody gets extra points for pretending to be perfect. At Three Strands we’re interested in people and our priority is helping you develop a relationship with the God who loves you and meaningful relationships with the rest of His kids.
Our Name:
At first glance Three Strands might look like a strange name for a church but we like it for two really important reasons:
- It’s Biblical – Ecclesiastes 4:12 says that a cord of three strands is not easily broken.
- It’s a symbol for what we’re all about – helping people get tied into God, community and a greater purpose.
So this week why not come tie one on at Three Strands?!
Disclaimer…
It has come to our attention that some of you may have been confused when we invited you to “tie one on” at Three Strands. To help clear things up here’s a list of stuff you WON’T need at Three Strands:
- A valid ID

- A designated driver
- Headache powders
Three Strands would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and we would like to remind you…If you are going to do church, do it responsibly!
Where Can I Serve?
Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of 3Strands is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation.
Music
God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music ministry. Some play their instruments. Some are vocalists. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of 3Strands, using their talents and gifts to glorify God.
Greeters
The Greeting team arrives at church early to make sure that all materials for vistors are in place and they are ready to welcome everyone who steps through the doors. This ministry is fairly easy to do but its significance is enormous.
Media & Technology
Using media to spread the gospel is a privilege of 3Strands. In an age of widespread technology, we have a stewardship to use these tools as best as possible for kingdom purposes. All of our weekly sermons are uploaded to our Faith Life page which is linked under the Sermons tab. We also maintain an active Facebook and Twitter feed for additional church communication.
Children’s Church
In order to give our children the best Bible teaching possible, 3Strands holds a children’s church service in conjunction with the main service. This special time gives kids more opportunity for interaction and learning in a context and manner that may be better suited to their age and learning styles.
Small Groups
3Strands is always in the process of establishing new small groups to meet in peoples homes throughout the week. If you are interested in hosting a group or leading a group we would love to talk to you!
How Do I Meet People?
3Strands is not a place for spectators. It is a place for team members. Whether you are a five-year old child, a ninety-five year old grandmother, a busy mom, or a businessman with big responsibilities, we want you to be a part of our vibrant church community. Here is how you can learn, serve, and grow at 3Strands.
Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study
Join us for in-depth Bible study and great fellowship on Sunday mornings at 9:00AM at the Church. We’re just beginning a verse by verse study of the book of James. It’s a great time to jump in.
Youth Ministry
Each Sunday morning, children get to participate in their own classes. Bible lessons are taught in such a way that every child gets to participate and learn. Each of the class teachers is carefully screened and thoroughly trained in children’s instruction.
Young Adults
Life can get complicated once you cross that nebulous threshold into adulthood. There are complicated decisions. Bigger stakes. Serious relationships. And a whole lot more decisions. The Forge is our young adult group at 3Strands and it provides a welcoming atmosphere for college and early-career aged young people. The Forge meets Sunday evenings at 6pm.
Women’s Group
3Strands Women’s Group gives the ladies in our church family special times of interaction. Our women’s groups are times of Bible study, prayer (and, of course, food). These groups provide a refreshing discipleship opportunity for the women in the church. Check the calendar for their next meet.
Men’s Group
The men’s group meets the third Saturday of each month and not only do we tear into some awesome food we dig into God’s Word and discover how to walk as a man of God. Check the calendar for their next meeting.
Prayer Group
This group meets on the first Sunday of each month from 7 to 8:30pm for worship and prayer. (check the calendar for any changes.)
