The Gullah Geechee Church of Charleston is a diverse and inclusive community dedicated to preserving the history, culture, traditions, and heritage of the Gullah Geechee people while welcoming individuals and families from all backgrounds. Through education, cultural preservation, community outreach, books, tours, and special events, we work to ensure that the stories of Charleston and the Sea Islands remain alive for future generations.
Our Story
The Gullah Geechee Church of Charleston was founded on a simple belief: History should be preserved. Culture should be celebrated. Community should be strengthened.
Our mission is rooted in preserving the stories, traditions, heritage, and cultural memory of the Gullah Geechee people while creating a welcoming community for all who seek knowledge, fellowship, and connection.
Everything we do is guided by our core values: Preservation • Education • Community • Service • Respect • Cultural Heritage • Integrity • Belonging.
We believe community is everything. It is how traditions survive. It is how knowledge is passed from one generation to the next. It is how people find purpose, connection, and support.
Through education, cultural preservation, books, tours, community outreach, special events, and historical interpretation, we work to ensure that the stories of Charleston, the Sea Islands, and the Gullah Geechee people continue to inspire future generations.
Our doors are open to people from every background. When people come together to learn, share, and grow, communities become stronger.
Together, we honor the past, serve the present, and help build a better future. Because preserving culture is not only about remembering where we came from. It is about ensuring future generations know who they are.
