LIFE Groups
Why LIFE Groups?
Belonging is an essential next step for each of us, and belonging happens best in LIFE Groups. The Bible challenges us to fellowship with one another 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 doing life together.

Stitches of Love
Stitches of Love meets on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 10 am – 3 pm at the Loring Mill Campus in the Cabin.
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, 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, join their Facebook page: Stiches of Love Quilt Ministry.
