Assessment

Due West ARP Church sits in the historic home of Erskine College and Erskine Theological Seminary — the ARP-affiliated educational institutions that have nurtured the denomination's Southern Presbyterian identity since 1839. Pastor Rev. Scott Moore accepted the call in January 2021 after 15 years of missions ministry with World Witness in Mexico, where he taught at the Eben-Ezer Theological Seminary of the Mexican ARP. His academic credentials are exceptional: B.S. from Columbia International University, M.Div. from Reformed Theological Seminary Jackson, and Th.M. in New Testament from Westminster Theological Seminary Philadelphia (2017). He was ordained by Catawba Presbytery in 1995. The combination of rigorous Reformed theological training, Pauline New Testament specialization, and long-term missions experience makes this a strongly-credentialed pastor for a small-town ARP congregation. Green-rated orthodox Reformed option for the upstate South Carolina area.
