Love | Hope | Family | Community

About the show

Our mission is to reach everyone around us with the hope of Christ. We are a church founded on building strong families focused on impacting our community.

We want to show and receive God’s love to those around us, and we live that out practically everyday. We strive to bring hope by meeting physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of everyone we come in contact with. We love fiercely—like a family, because everyone is included and our Father loves us all. We’re building biblical community by seeking God’s Word, believing in His promises, and applying what we learn everyday.

Our hope is that you and your family find a home with us where you can learn, grow, live, and thrive in Christ Jesus. We’re a multi-generational church with something to offer everyone in your family. Join us for a Sunday morning worship service, and take the next step in your journey with us!

Episodes and Blog Entries

  • Peter | The Twelve

    Episode  |  February 21st, 2021  |  40 mins 36 secs
    baptist, bible, church, preaching, scripture, sermon

    This week, we study Peter and learn that even through failure, it's not fatal in our walk with Jesus. As we read the accounts in Matthew and Luke, we see that Peter was both a rock of spiritual strength, and a traitor when things got too real. In our own lives, we can take small steps toward denying Jesus just as Peter did if we aren’t careful.

  • John | The Twelve

    Episode  |  February 14th, 2021  |  44 mins 7 secs
    baptist, bible, church, preaching, scripture, sermon

    We look at John this week as we continue to study the twelve who changed the world. We learn that truth without love is nothing more that brutality and divisiveness and it will never represent the heart of Jesus. We need to have absolute love for people when sharing the absolute truth with them.

  • Philip | The Twelve

    Episode  |  February 7th, 2021  |  44 mins 33 secs
    baptist, bible, church, preaching, scripture, sermon

    As we dive deeper into the twelve who changed the world, we take a close look at Philip. Maybe not as renown as some of the other disciples, he always wanted to have the answer for every problem. In his encounter with Jesus, he realized that sometimes, we don’t need all the answers.

    The Calling of the Ordinary | The Twelve | Matt Petty | Burnt Hickory

    The disciples are not biblical heroes. They didn't have superpowers. They were twelve ordinary men who followed an extraordinary Jesus. This is a comforting thought, since it gives us hope that we don't have to be perfect or super in God's eyes to make an impact in the world. All we have to do is be obedient. Pastor Matt begins the series "The Twelve" and we look through scripture to see what attributes the disciples held, and what Jesus expects from us as Christians carrying His hope to the world.

    The Challenge | Thomas Hammond | Burnt Hickory

    Guest speaker Thomas Hammond from the Georgia Baptist Mission Board walks us through what Peter and John experienced on the way into the temple. Just as they stop and respond to a lame man, we see what our response should be for someone in need.

    baptist, bible, church, preaching, scripture, sermon

    As we celebrate the sanctity of life Sunday today, we look into scripture and see that God loves life. We see in John 1 and 14, Jesus is life, the author of life, and creator of life. In Genesis 2 we understand that we are His workmanship. And finally in Genesis 1, we see that we bear His image.

  • Called To Serve

    baptist, bible, burnt hickory, church, preaching, scripture, sermon

    We might have a lot of baggage that comes with our understanding of what the word serve means. Today, we look at Marks account of Jesus leading the disciples, and what it actually means to be a servant.

    A New Story To Tell | Chip Paul | Burnt Hickory

    In the light of all that has happened in 2020, you might be hoping that the new year is a restart. Pastor Chip shows us through the story of Joseph, that we need to refocus our narrative, and join Christ in a new story of the gospel for this new year.
