Who we are
Our Identity
Our Core Values
Our tag line is a succint summary of our core pillars - "the family of God built upon the Word of God to the glory of God." Our objective is to see children, teens, and adults coming to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and then to grow in spiritual maturity in the knowledge of their Savior so they become His followers who accurately reflect the character of God in their lives. The ministries of our church are geared towards that end.
The Bible teaches us that the purpose for the church's existence and its mission on earth is to bring glory to God. God's Word is the authoritative means whereby we learn about the many splendored excellencies of God's nature and how we can live so as to exalt Him above all else. So not only has God given to us an infallible, inerrant, completed revelation of Himself but also of His plan for man in the sixty-six books that comprise both the Old and New Testaments. Therefore, in our worship and in our ministries, the teachings of the Scriptures become the standard for what we do and how we operate. Our desire is to be Christ-exalting, Scripture-focused, and others-reaching.
We Are an Independent Baptist Church.
By independent, we simply mean we are not affiliated with nor controlled by any denomination. One of the Baptistic distinctives we embrace is that the local assembly of born-again believers ought to be autonomous or self-governing. We have a congregational form of government with deacons and a pastor in leadership positions.
We Are a Fundamental Ministry.
Current events have made many associate the name "fundamental" with extremist groups that are known for their terrorist activities or with groups that are known for strange and unorthodox practices. The term itself originated earlier in American history with roots in the early 20th century when the Modernist (Liberal)/Conservative theological battles were raging. So like those conservatives of that era who embraced and proclaimed the God-inspired teachings of both the Old and New Testaments, we embrace the following essential, non-negotiable doctrines of God’s Word:
The Bible
We believe in the divine inspiration of the sixty-six books of the Bible, comprised of both the Old and New Testaments and that they are supremely authoritative for us today in matters of faith and practice.
Creation
We believe in the creation of man by the direct act of God and a literal six day creation of the universe and everything in it.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the full deity of Jesus Christ, co-equal with the Father in essence, in power and glory.
The Incarnation
We believe in the incarnation (God became man with a real body and sinless human nature) and the virgin birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The Atonement
We believe in His substitutionary atonement for the sins of men by the shedding of His blood on the cross and His power to rescue men from sin’s penalty, its dominion, and ultimately its presence.
The Resurrection of Christ
We believe in the literal resurrection of Christ’s body from the tomb.
The New Birth
We believe that the new birth, being born again, comes only through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit wholly apart from man’s goodness or good works.
Eternal Life
We believe that the gift of eternal life comes only by the grace (the undeserved favor) of God, and is received by faith in Christ and His finished work alone.
The Second Coming of Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will literally return one day to earth--personally, bodily, and visibly.
The Future of the Saved and Unsaved
We believe in the future resurrection of the righteous to eternal life with Christ and the future resurrection of the unrighteous to eternal suffering and separation from God in the Lake of Fire.

Leader Bio:
Pastor Mike holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Bob Jones University and has been on staff here at Foster Creek Baptist (f.k.a. Ferndale Baptist) since 1992. He and his wife, Leeann, were married in May 1986 at Heritage Bible in Greenville (now located in Greer, SC) where they also were actively serving in the youth ministry there. Leeann also holds undergrad and graduate degrees from BJU in Education and serves as the church's administrative assistant. She is heavily involved in other ministries of the church as well.
After leaving Greenville in October 1990, they moved to the Atlanta area with their daughter Katie to serve in the ministry there. In early October of 1992 the three of them moved to North Charleston, SC where Pastor Mike served as the youth/assistant pastor at Ferndale Baptist. God blessed Pastor Mike and Leeann with the expansion of their family when both of their sons, Mike and Tim were born in North Charleston (1992 and 1996, respectively).
On July 30, 2008, Pastor Mike accepted the church’s call to serve as its seventh pastor and is thankful for the opportunity to serve the congregation. The church has been replanted on seven and a half beautiful acres on Foster Creek Road in Hanahan and is enjoying its new home in a just completed phase one construction project. (On February 18, 2018 the church held its first service in their new building with Dr. Walter Loescher, our GFA Missionary to France, having the honor of being the first preacher to preach in the new building. He graciously filled in since Pastor Mike had succumbed to laryngitis and was unable to speak at all on the first day of services!)
Their daughter Katie graduated from Bob Jones University with her Master's degree in Education in May 2014. A week later she married Matt Ashley and in June relocated to Indianapolis where they have been hired to teach on the faculty of a Christian School that is a ministry of Colonial Hills Baptist. After Mike's graduation from BJU with an undergrad degree in Bible, he married Lauren Lopez on June 13, 2015 (and yes, there were actually four 'Miguel Angels' at their beautiful Cuban wedding!). She is working on her Nursing degree. Mike is pursuing a graduate degree at the BJU Seminary. Tim is currently a senior Bible major at BJU and looks forward to serving this summer as a church intern at Colonial Hills Baptist in Indianapolis before beginning his seminary training next Fall.
