Baptist Day In South Carolina

Send us Fan MailA region that once struggled to give $10,000 becomes the only one in South Carolina to consistently hit a $20,000 fundraising goal, and the spark is something you might not expect: a mass choir built on unity. We sit down with Pastor LL Cain, president of the 6th district, to unpack the real story behind Baptist Day and how churches across the state mobilize on the fourth Sunday in July to support the South Carolina Baptist E&M Convention with repairs, resources, and long-term ministry needs. We also zoom in on Region 6, a massive footprint of more than 262 churches spread across multiple counties, and talk candidly about what it takes to organize, re-engage congregations after COVID-era setbacks, and keep a clear mission in front of leaders. Pastor Kane shares the vision that formed the Region 6 Mass Choir, how it grew from a simple idea into a movement, and why the choir welcomes believers across denominations to “just sing” for the glory of God. One moment says it all: a chance encounter with a woman singing at a gas station becomes an open door into a choir family. From there, we look forward. You’ll hear plans for a marketing group to build local business support, a commitment to giving to HBCUs that are struggling, and the importance of Morris College, owned by the Missionary Baptist churches in South Carolina, as a vital piece of higher education and legacy. We also talk about upcoming music workshops designed to train singers, musicians, and music leaders because the church’s message often lands first through sound and worship. If you care about church leadership, faith-based fundraising, South Carolina Baptist history, or the power of music ministry to bring people together, this conversation delivers practical insight and real hope.
