Loring Mill Adult Ministries

Why LIFE Groups?

We believe that church is a place of grace, therefore, we want people to KNOW Community.

We believe that belonging happens best in LIFE Groups; it’s where we do life together!

The Bible challenges us to fellowship with one another, love one another,

bear one another’s burdens, and encourage one another.

This is not easy as we are pulled by life in so many directions,

but once you find a group, you will enjoy the blessings of belonging!

Questions about LIFE Groups?

Please reach out to Kevin Buynak.

BLOOM

Bloom meets 3-4 times a year.

BLOOM Women’s Ministry is a gathering for the Women of Sumter where we can gather, grow, and go.

We gather as a community of women because we are better together.
We grow through studying the Word of God together and sharing our stories.
We share the hope we have in the Lord Jesus with others.

Next event:

February 23 & 24, 2024 | Loring Mill Campus

Healing Hurts event with Judith MacNutt from Christian Healing Ministry.

Registration will open soon!

FLOURISH: A Mentoring Journey

Our most important decisions are about who we are and who we are becoming. FLOURISH is a one-year journey that connects women in a curriculum-based mentoring relationship to encourage and challenge one another in their walks with Jesus. Flourish is currently full, but please email Stephanie Dowling at mailto:sdowling@adbc.org to get on the waiting list for the 2024-2025 year.

MOMS Sumter.

Loring Mill Campus | 1305 Loring Mill Rd, Sumter

This is a place for women to find comfort and community with other women who get their joys and their struggles while encouraging each other with the Word of God.

We believe that every mom can connect with each other as sisters in Christ, no matter their background or age.

Stitches of Love

Stitches of Love meets in The Cabin on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 10 am – 3 pm.

Loring Mill Campus | 1305 Loring Mill Rd

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 doing fun projects together, they 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, to local nursing homes, and to members of the church who have babies. They make comfort caps for ladies who have lost their hair due to chemo or other medical reasons.

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.

For more information: Email Libby Singletary at libby7168@yahoo.com or join their Facebook page: Stitches of Love Quilt Ministry.

Thimble Thursdays

Thimble Thursday meets weekly in The Cabin 10 am – 2 pm.

Loring Mill Campus | 1305 Loring Mill Rd

Thimble Thursday is a weekly informal gathering where we work on charity projects that benefit the Sumter community (comfort caps for cancer patients, baby quilts for Sumter Crisis Pregnancy Center, Shaw AFB, local nursing homes, and ADBC members). We also work on personal projects. Members are encouraged to bring their machines and join us. There is no set agenda.

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.
