About Us:

Malvern Hill Baptist Church

Camden, SC

Camden, SC is located in the Midlands near Columbia and is South Carolina's oldest inland city. With a population just over 8,000 people, Camden is a rapidly growing town with a rich history. Read more about Camden here. 


Malvern Hill Baptist Church is located in East Camden just off of Hwy 1. Originally founded in 1931 with 38 charter members, Malvern Hill has grown to be a thriving church with an attendance of 450-500 members and guests each Sunday morning in our two services. On Sunday, September 1, we launched a capital campaign to make room for the people of Malvern Hill today, tomorrow, and in the future to come. Read more about our capital campaign here. 


We believe that a church is not a building—it is a family. Over the past eight decades as a church family, we have sought to be a community that makes a positive difference in the world around us through the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray that we will continue to be a church that loves God, loves one another, and seeks to change the world by giving and going. Read more about who we are here.
