History:
More than a hundred years ago, Triune Mercy Center was founded as a small Methodist church to worship God and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1989, Triune answered a new call to service when a few of its women opened the church doors to provide a hot meal for eight people.
In the 21 years since, Triune – with the help of 57 partner churches — has fed, clothed, and shepherded thousands of people who had nowhere else to turn.
Today:
The cornerstone of the Triune Mercy Center is worship – held at 11 AM and 6 PM each Sunday in the beautiful Triune Chapel. The non-denominational services attract a diverse population of Greenville’s homeless and affluent. They provide a gathering place for those who, in the words of the prophet Micah, desire “to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with (their) God.”
The Triune Mercy Center also meets the physical needs of many in the surrounding neighborhood with a soup kitchen, clothes closets, food pantry and laundry services. For those ready to change their lives, the center offers help in accessing drug rehabilitation programs, computer training, employment and housing. And for those who simply want to enjoy being part of a community, there are opportunities in visual art, music and theater.
During our Back Yard Mission Days, available by reservation on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, small groups can learn about the homeless in Greenville while performing hands-on service among them. Call Randy Nelson at 864-233-8020, ext. 200 for more information or to reserve a day.
Mission Statement:
To share Christ’s love by meeting physical needs and providing life-changing opportunities to the disadvantaged.
