We believe that offering women a variety of ways to connect through activities they enjoy helps to build connection and community.

Women's Events

The Sumter IF: Gathering that was scheduled for Saturday, March 21, 2020, 9:30am-3:00pm in the Worship Center has been postponed.  Please check out this webpage frequently for information on the new date.  This event will feature multiple speakers via video and a great time of food, fun, and fellowship.  We want women to experience community during the event and find ongoing community afterwards.

Lunch is provided and is included with the price of registration.  Childcare is available (registration required) and IF t-shirts will be sold on the day of the event.

Women's LIFE Groups

We offer multiple women-only LIFE Groups, for more community and study, that meet on weekends and weekdays, and they all include childcare.  All studies are Biblically based and offer topics on growing with Christ, motherhood, books of the Bible, etc. Check out our latest LIFE Groups page here for the most up-to-date details.

MOPS

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers, and by preschoolers we mean kiddos from birth through kindergarten. 

MOPS is a grassroots movement that believes moms are world influencers.  We believe that incubating hearts and giving "just-because" hugs can change the course of history.  That’s why we connect moms all over the world to a community of women, in their own neighborhoods, who meet together to laugh, cry and embrace the journey of motherhood.  MOPS groups are rallying women to be more honest, to feel more equipped and to find our identity by journeying alongside one another.

1st and 3rd Thursdays | 9:15am-11:30am| Alice Drive Baptist Church|1305 Loring Mill Rd, Sumter
