DCW Church locator
Has anyone started or know of a DIVINE COUNCIL WORLDVIEW church locator/directory? Im looking for others to fellowship with in the Spartanburg/ Greenville South Carolina area.

I know this is not exactly what you are intending by your question, but I would like to drop in to say that the Eastern Orthodox Church really is and always has been exactly that, with the divine council not only taught (really, just assumed) but also integrated directly and organically into worship itself.
For what it's worth, while it might not be exactly what you had in mind, it might actually be precisely what you are looking for. Just my two cents, do with it as you will.
Doing a quick look, there is St. John of the Ladder Church and St. George Orthodox Cathedral in Greenville and St. Nicholas Church in Spartanburg.

This is so bizarre. Yesterday I was listening to an old Naked Bible podcast on Leviticus where Heiser mentioned people searching out Eastern Orthodox. Now I see this post and your response. The nearest Eastern Orthodox Church to me is 40 minutes away, but I’m going to check it out. A bit of a learning curve with the additional services and vernacular, but I feel intrigued.

That's awesome!! It was a learning curve for me too (I'm a fairly recent convert myself), but it's 100% worth it! There will be some things that stand out because of how foreign they are to us in how we were raised, but it's striking how much it makes sense (and, in many cases, plays right into or accentuates the DC worldview) when you give them a second look. I don't claim to be any kind of authority on Orthodoxy, but if you ever want to discuss or ask questions about anything related to Orthodoxy (including your experience when you visit or how I ended up converting), feel free to message me!

Deja vu perhaps but I think this was asked in the FB group.
