Ministries
Missions
The Great Commission given by Christ and recorded in the Gospel of Matthew is a charge to go into all the world and tell the Good News of Jesus Christ. It begins by telling the believers to begin in Jerusalem. The Spartanburg area is Morningside's Jerusalem and the people of Morningside take seriously this mission.
Beginning on our church property we have two buildings that are used to help house local ministries and non-profit organizations such as: SPIHN (homeless ministry to families), Boy Scout Troop 11 and Pack 11, SCBEST (School Time Bible Classes), the Boys & Girls Club of the Upstate, and The Alzheimer's Association.
Three times per week members of Morningside offer ESOL classes (English for Speakers of Other Languages). These free classes minister to dozens of international families in our community each year. Fore more information about ESOL click here.
In addition to the organizations that are located right on the church property, the people of Morningside are also involved in a variety of other ministries in the Spartanburg area. To learn more about these organizations, click on each one to be directed to their websites.

In addition to telling those in our community about the Good News of Jesus Christ, we're also called to go to the ends of the earth to proclaim the name of Christ. Morningside is very involved in sharing Christ worldwide through giving, church-plant support, and mission trips. Morningside is honored to be designated by the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention as a Global Missions Church. Our adult, youth, and music ministries sponsor mission trip experiences each year.
