You are loved, cherished, and ACCEPTED by God.
Love and accept others in like manner!
Our Story
We began in February 2019 as small church family meeting weekly in a living room in Little River, SC. We shared the love of Christ and the hope of the Gospel with our neighbors, inviting them to our unconventional church. After months of praying, the Lord showed us that as a house church ministry, we were uniquely designed to share the love of Christ with people in ways other churches could not.
Jesus came for all of us! Many people don't fit the "church" mold. And that's ok! Experiencing caring community, love and acceptance is something we all deserve.
We minister locally in Little River, SC and in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Regardless of your background, your sexual orientation, your gender identity, or even your religious beliefs, we believe Jesus calls us all to love WITHOUT CONDITIONS. And that's what we do. We like to say, we share the love of Jesus without conditions and beyond church walls!
If you would like more information about gathering with us, email us at contact@leptachurch.com
For a handful of years we published resources for the church at large which can be found on our YouTube channel. After years of running both the online ministry and local ministry, the Lord has led us to shift the main focus of our time and energy primarily on local ministry again, as we did in the early days of our ministry.
We are still available to those who are friends and family online. You can reach out with prayer requests and other needs by emailing us at:

We are about to turn five years old! We appreciate your prayers as we continue our mission! To God be the Glory!
Mission and Values
We are reminded of the story of a widow found in Luke 21:1-4 who responds to God in worship by giving all that she has, which were two small coins, called "lepta".
"Lepta" represents total commitment, looking at God's invitation to participate with Him and boldly saying "YES!"
If we do not love others, or if we put conditions on people or pressure them to fit a certain mold, we are forsaking and betraying the message of our precious Lord.
Our name is our commitment to love others, as Christ loved!
We believe character matters. If we truly are Jesus' representatives (2 Corinthians 5:20) then we must display the character and love of Christ. Many people we minister to reject church because they see so little character there. We must be faithful to Christ by giving an authentic picture of who He is to the world, otherwise we will turn people away instead of drawing them to Jesus.
We believe everyone was made in the image of God, and that God did an amazing job making everyone!
We will love, accept and respect all!
Beliefs
We believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead.*
On the third day He rose again;
He ascended into heaven,
He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen
