Abide Church is grateful to be sent and supported by First Baptist Simpsonville/Upstate Church. Their partnership reminds us that we are not launching alone, but as part of a larger gospel family committed to making disciples and reaching the Upstate with the hope of Jesus.

Nate Dye is the Lead Pastor and Church Planter of Abide Church. He is passionate about helping people know Jesus, find real community, and live with purpose right where they are. Before planting Abide, Nate served in churches across Georgia and South Carolina and helped lead mission work in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and El Salvador. He currently serves on the board of White Horse Missions and loves seeing the gospel move both across the street and around the world. Nate and his family love the Upstate and are excited to help build a church in Spartanburg where people can connect with Jesus and change their world.
