The Cumberland Community
CCA is active in the community of south Cobb County, frequently having volunteer days and other events in order to help other less fortunate people. The elementary choir, Patriot Voices, and high school mission teams visit many churches, nursing homes, and area businesses spreading God's message through word and deed.
Cumberland students are also active in the global Christian community; junior and senior high school trips are not strictly for leisure or fun (though having fun is not prohibited), they are mission trips. The juniors travel to a major U.S. city for an "inner-city" experience. Seniors travel to a Caribbean island to share dramas and puppets in an evangelistic program. Cumberland also helps sponsor the Good Shepherd Christian School, a Christian school in Haiti. This includes paying the teacher's salaries and "tithing" a portion of our Walk-a-thon donations to help the school grow.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“The people needed to be rehoused, but I feel disgusted and depressed when I see how they have done it. It did not suit the planners to think how they might deal with the community, or the individuals that made up the community. All they could think was, “Sweep it away!” The bureaucrats put their heads together, and if anyone had told them, “A community is people,” they would not have known what they were on about.”
—May Hobbs (b. 1938)
