After completing a church planting residency with Harvest Bible Fellowship in Chicago, IL, our founding pastor, David Rudie, followed  the Lord's leading to plant a church in Upstate, South Carolina.  Launched as Vertical Church Spartanburg in September 2018, our first church home was found in the batting cages of the Upward Star Center in Spartanburg, SC. The Fall of 2019 brought an opportunity to move into a different building on the Upward Campus. The church chose at that time to also change our name to Doxa Church. Upon the sale of the Upward property in 2023, our friends at Northgate Church in Lyman, SC, blessed us with a location for our services until we were able to secure our current location on Nazareth Church Road in Spartanburg in the Spring of 2024.

Through all of the moves and other changes, the Lord has shown Himself faithful time and time again in His care for His people. All praise to Him who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. All glory to the unchanging Christ.
