About Mission Lexington

Serving Lexington for 40 years.

Mission Lexington (formerly Lexington Interfaith Community Services) has been meeting the needs of Lexington County residents in crisis. Originally founded in 1978 by four churches as a way to serve individuals and families faced with limited emergency needs, the organization has grown exponentially.

Mission Lexington is the hub of care for Lexington County, assisting families and individuals with life essentials, resources, and guidance. We meet over 30,000 needs in Lexington County each year, ranging from helping an elderly couple with food to funeral expenses for a child. Our partner network includes local businesses and government agencies, corporations, organizations individuals and more than 50 member churches who sustain our vision daily.

Mission Lexington has served the county from multiple locations over the years, moving as our needs have expanded. Today we offer a thriving thrift store, food pantry and mobile food pantry, donation center and warehouse and social services, guidance and administration offices at 216 Harmon Street in downtown Lexington, SC.

Statements of Belief

We believe:

• That everyone is part of God’s creation, valued, and deserves to be treated with compassion.
• That a cooperative community, strong, trained leadership, and clearly defined goals will best serve the mission of Mission Lexington.
• That to accomplish our mission we offer opportunities for the community to serve with its gifts and talents.

Statement of Faith

We worship and serve the one eternal, triune God who rules over all and who has revealed Himself in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We submit to the teaching of the Bible, which is the Word of God written, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

We believe that we have eternal life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By grace we are saved from our sins.

We share the good news of Jesus Christ in words and deed.

We believe the human life has value, because it is created in the image of God and redeemed in Jesus Christ. We love and serve because Jesus first loved and served us.

We work to be good stewards of time, talents and treasures. We seek to use what has been entrusted to us faithfully and for the glory of our Lord.

We believe that a vibrant faith in Christ, a cooperative community, trained leadership, and clearly defined goals will best ensure that Mission Lexington fulfills what God is calling it to do.
