Lead Pastor:
Simeon Bell
Simeon and his wife Shannon have a deep love for the gospel and a heart for people.
Together, they are raising their son, Benaiah, and daughter, Ayla. Simeon first sensed a calling to Columbia while seeing the city’s strategic influence through the University of South Carolina and its diverse, growing community. He believes Columbia is a city where the gospel can take root and multiply, transforming both local neighborhoods and the nations through the many students and families who pass through. For Simeon and Shannon, planting Citizens Church in Columbia is a family calling to reflect God’s heart for this city.
