We support our community by sharing resources with Sumter United Ministries. Each month we collect specific items they have requested. Items for the month of September: Beef Stew and Chef Boyardee. Drop off items at the Missions Café, Loring Mill, or the Pocalla office.

Because we believe church is a place of grace, we want to help people know real community. 

 

We want people to know community through LIFE Groups!
Let us help you find the right group for you!

 

Take a look at all of the LIFE Groups we offer here!

Are you interested in going on a Missions Trip?

We have an opportunity for mission work near home at Camp Rock of Georgia Camps October 6-October 9, 2023.

 

Camp Rock's mission is "to influence the life circumstances of at-risk children so that they develop the life skills needed to fulfill the full potential of the life God has given them."

We will share Jesus' love by witnessing to foster kids and families. In addition, we will be the hands and feet of Jesus to improve the camp as needed during this long weekend.

 

*Registration ends October 1, 2023.

Stitches of Love Monthly Meeting: Second Saturday of each month

Time: 10 AM - 3 PM 

Location: The Cabin at Loring Mill 

 

 

Stitches of Love is a quilting ministry of ADBC. Their mission is to be the hands of Jesus by using their gifts and talents to bless others. In addition to making fun projects together, they also make baby quilts to donate to the crisis pregnancy centers in Sumter, to the young military couples at Shaw Air Force Base who go through parenting classes, and to members of the church who have babies.

We also make quilts for local Nursing Homes and currently are finishing 70 adult sized quilts which are being donated to the Palms on Main here in Sumter.

We welcome those who may be interested in sewing. If you don’t know how to sew, we will teach you. There are no dues or charges to our participants. They have a facebook page: Stitches of Love Quilt Ministry.
