Assessment

Ebenezer Presbyterian Church (ARP) in Rock Hill, South Carolina has been led by Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Matt Allison since 2015. His theological training is unusually broad: Florida Southern College (undergraduate), Columbia Theological Seminary, and Erskine Theological Seminary (the ARP seminary). Before Rock Hill, he led congregations in Florida and Georgia. ARP male-only ordination and Westminster Standards make this a clean fit with the MOOP biblical-design rubric. Green-rated orthodox Reformed option for the Rock Hill/Charlotte-south area.
