The Amelia Church of Christ supports four missions that spread the gospel of Jesus Christ both locally and around the world. At ACC, we set aside 10 percent of our offering every month and send it to missions that are as close as down the street and as far away as 8,000 miles. Our financial support is divided equally and sent to the following four missions: Woodland Lakes Christian Camp In existence since the 1940s, Woodland Lakes, a few minutes east of Amelia, is committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where campers can grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically while enjoying God’s creation.
Grace and Mercy Our church is surrounded by many communities that are economically depressed. Many, many families in the area are poor and need help from time to time with food, clothing and other everyday items. Grace and Mercy is a Christian thift store that opens its doors to the community every week from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
