United Ministries
of Sumter County
Our Mission
United Ministries of Sumter County is an extension of the ministry of area churches whose mission is to provide crisis
assistance such as direct financial assistance, referrals, and counseling to those in need.  We also try to address the root causes
of affliction with a Biblical perspective.

Christians travel to the ends of the earth to minister to people that are afflicted and to preach the Gospel. The Bible tells us to do
that, but we are also called to reach those in need in our own community. The disciples sent Stephen and the six to the widows
who were being neglected in the daily distribution. That is the essence of United Ministries. People were being met with good
teaching and others were being reached while a need was addressed.  The book of Acts 6:7a says “And the word of God
increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem,”. Scripture says there were great wonders and signs
done among the people. Our prayer is that Jesus would change hearts, and that people would walk out of the UMSC building
different than they walked in. It’s happening! Clients, volunteers, visitors and staff are being changed by God’s power. Without
Jesus we have nothing.       
Isaiah 58:10
"if you spend
yourselves in behalf
of the hungry and
satisfy the needs of
the oppressed, then
your light will rise in
the darkness, and
your night will
become like the
noonday."
" A light in the darkness"
