Christmas in Action is a non-profit organization that rehabilitates the houses of people in need. This is a wonderful opportunity to help the community and strengthen our relationship with Christ and each other. We often serve as the host station for all the rebuilding teams. The “Rebuilding Days” are one day projects held twice a year in April and October. Our team is assigned a project that could involve painting, ramp building, plumbing, flooring, etc.

SPIHN includes Spartanburg-area churches who provide temporary food and shelter for homeless families with children under the age of 18. Spartanburg area churches provide nighttime shelter for these families. We partner with St. James United Methodist Church four times a year for one week at a time. We serve dinner to the families on Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday night. We host the families during the day on Saturday with two people in two hour shifts from 11 am to 5 pm. This is a great Sunday School Class or family activity.

The Angel Tree Program is an opportunity for us to provide joy at Christmas for children who would otherwise be left out. Each Christmas season, a tree is placed outside the sanctuary with Angel Tags identifying specific needs for deserving children in the Spartanburg area. Members of Bethel’s family may select a tag from the tree, purchase the listed gifts, and place them under the tree for delivery to these children.
