On Friday, August 7, the Camden County Board of Commissioners joined Mayor Victor Carstarphen, members of Camden City Council, and residents for a street‑sign renaming ceremony to honor Bishop Sherman Diggs Sr. and Mother Dorothy Diggs for nearly six decades of spiritual leadership, community service, and dedication to the residents of Camden.
The Diggs founded Emmanuel United Pentecostal Church in 1968, and for decades their ministry has provided compassion, food, clothing, and essential support to thousands of people in Camden and beyond.
“Individuals like Bishop and Mother Diggs represent the best of the City of Camden,” said Commissioner Jeffrey Nash. “Camden is stronger because of Bishop and Mother Diggs, and we are proud to recognize their legacy.”
