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:
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
