A little band of a few more than 200 active pioneers from First Baptist Church of Chamblee ventured forth to re-establish their church less than 20 miles to the north of its former home. Ranging in age from innocent children to experienced octogenarians, the membership came with a “life wish” for their church. Charged with a directive from their pastor, Dr. Bill Self, that “this church will rise as high as the life wish of its people with the direct intervention of God;” they came, and their legacy of dedication and commitment to Christ lives on. This small group of Christians took occupation of the property on Sunday, October 17, 1993.
Near a community named for a creek, in a deeply moving worship service, they asked God to bless this church and its future for service in His kingdom. This is the story of the church’s first 20 years.
