Simpsonville
is increasingly a culturally diverse community, yet it proudly
retains positive elements of its Southern American heritage
manifested in hospitality, cordiality, and a pleasantly slower
pace. Most often, folks greet one another just passing on
the sidewalks and those acquainted inquire about family and
friends.
Family and generational ties run deep, but newcomers are always
welcome. Simpsonville is at the crossroads of the New South,
proud of its traditions yet eager to embrace the future. Vitality
and opportunity are attracting people from afar to Simpsonville.
We are proud of the international sub-groups represented in
Simpsonville's culture, including Mexicans, Colombians, Nicaraguans,
Greeks, Indians, French, Germans, Asians and others.
Religion is an important part of life in Simpsonville. More
than 45 churches are located in the Simpsonville area and,
with nearby Greenville included virtually all religions and
denominations are present. Some of the larger denominations
are Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Episcopal,
Church of God of Prophecy, Lutheran, Church of the Nazarene,
and Eckankor.
Many people in the area are active in some of the multitude
of civic clubs and other organization, such as Kiwanis, Rotary
International, American Legion, garden clubs, senior citizens
clubs, high school booster clubs, PTAs, Boy and Girl Scouts,
and many others. Opportunities abound for people to become
engaged in their interests and to make a difference in community
life.
