Who we are
The word "Venture" means to attempt something audacious or to take a big risk. In 2017, four families did just that. They felt God calling them to start a life giving church devoted to helping all people find new life in Christ. Led by Pastor Shaun Olsen and his wife Angela, they began planning a church that would intentionally cross cultural and generational boundaries: one that would bring people from all walks of life together into the family of Christ.
This idea proved contagious, and by the end summer of 2017, these 4 families relocated to Bluffton to turn this vision into reality. After an initial interest meeting that drew 24 people to a neighborhood clubhouse, Venture Church was set to launch on September 23rd, 2018, at Pritchardville Elementary. It wasn’t long before that small group of 15 had grown into a team of over 50 people. These teams of volunteers will transform Pritchardville Elementary every Sunday into a place of worship and community, a place where people of all races and beliefs could come and encounter God.
Venture Church is a life-giving church with a heart and passion for the Lowcountry. We are committed to sharing the love and hope of Jesus through Bible-centered teaching and community. People of all ages, and backgrounds come together on Sunday mornings to pursue God through the worship experience and VC Kids.
So we INVITE you to VENTURE with us.
