Assessment

Doxa Church is an EFCA church plant in Myrtle Beach, SC, meeting at the Claire Chapin Epps YMCA. SC coastal/Grand Strand region is thin for EFCA in the directory outside the existing Aiken and Rock Hill listings. Worth a longer evaluation period given plant-stage status, but EFCA Southeast District affirmation is a solid baseline.
