≡ Local Missions
These are just a few places in Spartanburg that need the hands and feet of Jesus (i.e. you and me). We encourage you to look through these needs and maybe even contact some of them that you are interested in investing in. Find out how you can help and take a friend with you when you go. If you have more ideas to add to this list please send them to webmaster@spartanburgbcm.org.

There is a long line of people that are waiting for food every day around 11:30. If they are there that means that they are facing a hard time in life and that is a time when people have a lot of deep questions. Please take this opportunity to invest in the live of the people in your own community.
