Advent Christian Village

Advent Christian Village Welcome to the Advent Christian Village at Dowling Park official page. Dowling Park was the fastest growing town in Florida in the early 1900s.

It was built by affluent businessman Thomas Dowling who owned a lumber mill here. Dowling donated a parcel of the land to the Advent Christian denomination, and in 1913, Advent Christian Village was founded as a home for orphaned children and retired ministers and missionaries. Through the decades, the community developed and grew, adapting its methods to keep pace with the needs of a changing society. Yet it has remained true its mission, which is “to express Christ’s love by providing compassionate care and quality comprehensive services” to those it serves. Today, Advent Christian Village (ACV) is a thriving community of nearly 800 members and 500 employees. The 1,200-acre campus offers scenic landscapes along the Suwannee River within a hometown atmosphere. At ACV, neighbors care about each other. This unique community is enriched by members of all backgrounds, faiths and economic abilities. No entrance fees and reasonable rates make it a viable option for virtually anyone. Along with a full continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living and acclaimed skilled nursing care, ACV offers a range of rental options and even home ownership. Members may choose from an array of services, paying only for the ones they use. It is one of only 15% of communities accredited by CARF-CCAC, the nation’s sole accreditor of retirement communities. This self-contained village has the benefits of a city, complete with a wellness center, quality medical clinic, dining choices, pharmacy, grocery store and market center. There is plenty to do, with engaging activities and a variety of volunteer opportunities with nearly 40,000 volunteer hours performed annually. We hope this page will help you get to know a little bit about us and we invite you to come for a tour, meet our residents and staff and maybe make us your home. Craig Carter, President, CEO

Congratulations to Nicole Carter, Administrative Assistant at Good Samaritan Center and our January Employee of the Month! Two people nominated her and here's what they said:

"Nicole is a great asset to GSC. She is very helpful and has taken on tasks that are not on her job description just to help out. She deserves to be employee of the month!"

"She is always helpful and kind to residents who need assistance, and very patient as well. There have been times when I had questions or haven’t been able to figure out how to do something on the computer, or the printer, copier, etc., and she’s been very knowledgeable about all this, and very helpful. She takes care of many tasks which helps everyone here at GSC. "

Thank you for all you do, Nicole - we are blessed to have you on our team! 🤩 🥳 👏
