Anderson, SC is a typical southern town in the “Bible Belt”. The city is well acquainted with cultural Christianity, but the practice of true discipleship is often lacking for many individuals. Anderson University helps make this city a strategic location for training and equipping laborers to be sent out into the harvest for God’s glory. To do this we need men and women who are passionate about making disciple-makers.
