I'm not familiar with a Paletine church, but the immigrants from
the
Palatinate region of Germany are frequently referred to as Palantine (or
Palentine, or take your pick on spelling -- darned if I know which one
is right <g>). I'm afraid I don't know much about the German settlers
in North Carolina, though. The area around Orangeburg County in SC,
though, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Swiss-German.
(Anyone want to take a guess where the German folks in my family settled
<g>?)

I had a similar question a couple of weeks ago via the NCGenWeb "help
line". What I sent this one was the following :
I don't know if there's a site specific for NC, but a lot of
immigrants to western NC came from the Palatinate to Pennsylvania,
and then south to NC. You can probably find relevant information on
them on the following pages:
