Church at The Mill (CATM) has been recognized six times by Outreach Magazine as one of the 100 fastest-growing churches in America. The church strives to be a place of new beginnings and real relationships for those who call CATM home. Dr. D.J. Horton has been the Senior Pastor of CATM since 2004 and has served as the President of the South Carolina Baptist Convention and SBC Pastors’ Conference during that time. 

CATM is located in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Nestled in the Upstate of South Carolina, Spartanburg is at the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, which offers close access to many hiking and outdoor activities. The Atlantic Coast is a quick three-hour drive as well. Spartanburg County is positioned directly between Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA, which affords residents easy access to large metropolis attractions while maintaining a lower cost of living in the suburbs. It is home to just over 350,000 residents of diverse backgrounds, including a vibrant international community. 

Spartanburg is on the rise! Downtown Spartanburg is well into a revitalization project which includes a new Minor League Baseball stadium for the 2025 addition of the Hub City Spartanburgers, a High-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. In recent years, U.S. News & World Report has recognized Spartanburg as one of the best places to live in South Carolina and has ranked Spartanburg among the top 25 fastest-growing places in the United States.
