Mission: Since 1937, Miracle Hill has ensured that those most in need receive food, shelter, and compassion while hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and becoming productive members of society.

Today, eight specialized outreach departments provide Christian nurture and care to men, women, children, and families. Miracle Hill seeks to help individuals and families achieve independence and wholeness within a distinctive evangelical Christian framework through Rescue Missions in Greenville, Spartanburg and Cherokee counties, as well as Shepherd's Gate, a Boys' Shelter, Children's Home, Relief Ministry, and Thrift Operations.
