Every time you back out of your driveway, you’re going on a mission trip. God has placed you somewhere strategically to do what you do to glorify Him and to be on mission for Him.
Serving leads to life change, and we believe that every follower of Jesus should be living a on mission in their community, state, nation, and the world.

Local Missions
Cobb County, Paulding County, and the greater Atlanta metro area is a beautiful place to live and do life with others. Many people in our own community have needs that are going unmet because they do not have anyone who can help meet their need. You or your LifeGroup may be just the ones to help these people, all while showing them the love of Jesus Christ. We have planted our lives in this community, so let’s be the ones that make a difference in our community and with our neighbors.
Beyond the Walls: Hands and Feet
September 13, October 11 and November 15, 2025
We are thrilled to introduce our new monthly outreach program, Beyond the Walls: Hands and Feet! This involves going out into our community to share Jesus. The event will occur on one Saturday each month. We will gather at Burnt Hickory Baptist Church in the Commons at 9:30 AM for a quick 30-minute evangelism training session before embarking in the local community for Gospel conversations. Around 12, we will come together at a nearby fast-food restaurant for a debriefing session and lunch. Lunch will not be provided. Come join us in spreading love and hope beyond the church walls!
