On December 7, 1914, Pope Benedict XV suggested a temporary hiatus of the war for the celebration of Christmas. His suggestion wasn’t held as important but his prayer was. God did something that will be forever remembered. On Christmas Eve, many German and British troops fighting in World War I sang Christmas carols to each other across the lines, and at certain points the Allied soldiers even heard brass bands joining the Germans in their joyous singing.
We have dynamic programs for children at SDCC! The combination of Truth from the Bible and fun with friends is a winner! The strategy is to help children learn about a loving, powerful and forgiving God while building a lifelong relationship with Jesus! The Bible begins to be a wondrous and captivating book for them through our lessons and activities!
SDCC is home, not only to a loving church family, but to our Food Pantry, Celebrate Recovery, Prayer Support and other community helps and services. We are in the heart of our community, with the community at heart - here to serve people in any way that we can, the best that we can!
We have a fantastic Pre-3 and VPK program that has served the needs of families in our community for generations! We strive to foster a life-long love of learning in a Christian atmosphere. In addition, our After School care for kids from South Daytona Elementary provides a safe environment with fun and enriching activities for students.
Being a real part of the church is about more than merely attending Sunday services.
We want to be a church where all people feel like they BELONG; where a relationship with Jesus sparks or grows brighter; and where people find their connection with Jesus and each other strengthened by serving.

What a year! And, even though you might not believe it, there's still so much to be thankful for! As you consider your blessings, please also consider helping with this project and sharing it with others. Helping others to have a good meal for Thanksgiving can really make a positive impact on a family. Thanks in advance for being so kind as to help! We are also collecting items for the Food Pantry Christmas Store. New or gently used items that our patrons can buy at very low cost (no clothing) will be accepted through the first week of December.
We're getting closer every week to our goal and it's exciting! Just in case you haven't heard . . . We've had to postpone our trip to the D.R. this year to build a house with Casas por Cristo. But, that doesn't mean that God's work will be postponed! It is our goal to raise $10,000 by the end of October to still build a house for a needy family. The Casas group (and our own Ian Dugger) will make sure it gets done! Yes, that's a big goal, but we have a big God! We will have some really cool t-shirts to give to anyone who donates $20 or more!
