The Village at Summerville, the flagship community of Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina, is part of a rich heritage of service to people of all faiths. During the early 1950s, ministers and church leaders of the Presbyterian Church in South Carolina had a vision to serve seniors. Two prominent leaders, Reverend Dr. Charles Robert Tapp and Reverend Dr. William McLeod Frampton Jr. helped lead the charge. In January 1958, the first 20 residents moved into what was called the Summerville Home.
