Bethlehem Center serves as the North Star for the Spartanburg’s Highland neighborhood, while shining its’ light on all of Spartanburg’s communities. Through cradle-to-career development, financial vitality, and health and wellness services, the center has guided the community since 1930. The mission of Bethlehem Center is to support, strengthen, and inspire individuals and families and facilitate opportunities for personal and community advancement.



Aiming Higher for Spartanburg

Bethlehem Center is growing to meet the needs of the Spartanburg community. Movement 2030 has helped raise initial funding for a new, expanded facility, and additional support will help us reach our capital campaign goal to ensure more community members have the opportunity to thrive.
