As our pastor has said - one of the greatest challenges in the church today is to be absolutely solid in sound doctrine while also demonstrating sound missional practice!!
Ministry for us is three fold: Loving Jesus. Serving People. Making Disciples.

Our Heart and Soul Ministry is 323! Missions - it’s all about reconciling hurting people with a loving Savior!
What is 323! Missions? – - It is a place of refuge for men coming out of generational poverty, chronic homelessness, struggles with addiction, or all of the above. It is a place of discipleship. It is not a shelter, we do not warehouse people, but desire men that will commit themselves to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and displaying a willingness to serve Him through local missions.
On the property at 323! Missions located at 323 W. Oakland Ave. in Sumter:
* an average of 1,000 meals per month going out in various ways to our city
* a Harvest Hope/Feeding America network Food Bank
* a clothing closet
* various local missions outreach events and community cookouts
and so much more!!
The emphasis here is missions on a local level, coupled with residential discipleship of men coming out of homelessness and addictions. These men commit 10-12 months to a residential discipleship program ( Find the Facebook group here )
*Also there is a women’s house that is coming soon. We welcome all types of assistance and support in seeing this become a reality here in Sumter.
Operated out of the 323! home – clothing closest, food bank and other mercy ministries to those in need.
