We believe that God has called us to express His love in words and actions, and to communicate God’s love for our diverse community in simple, practical ways. We want to be a Christ-like influence in the lives of our neighbors and community by partnering with other local churches and ministries. We are better together!
North Central Mission Center
North Central Mission Center has been serving churches in the north-central region of Georgia for nearly 50 years. We are an association of churches covering five counties: Pickens, Dawson, Cherokee, Forsyth, and north Fulton. By cooperatively working together, these churches are able to expand their ministries beyond county borders and reach those without a relationship with Jesus throughout Georgia, the United States, and the world. North Central Mission exists to provide resources and support for the churches of the Etowah, Lanier and Roswell Baptist Associations to accomplish the Great Commission. By 2032, we hope to see 100 churches in our network working together to reach every man, woman, and child in our area with the Gospel. Rick Biesiadecki is the Associational Missions Strategist, and a frequent guest preacher at Living Stones Church.
God has blessed us with a physical space with enough room to host churches whose native languages are something other than English. We currently partner and worship with congregations of Indian and Brazillian origins. We have formerly partnered with Russian speaking churches who outgrew the space and moved to a new location in Cumming. You can find info on these churches below.
Its Because of You Lord! (Indian Fellowship)
It’s Because of You Lord Church is a Bible-based, Spirit-empowered church founded in 2017 by Pastor Manohar and Jyothi Manohar as directed by God. Their goal is to reach our growing Indian-born neighbors in Forsyth County with the love of Christ. They host weekly prayer meetings, special seasonal services, and have a thriving YouTube ministry that stretches across the globe. Their main weekly service begins each Sunday at 11:00 am.
MSBN Brazilian Ministries
Igreja Brasileira stands out as a vibrant spiritual community dedicated to fostering a deep connection with God. MSBN's Cumming campus meets each Sunday at 6:00 pm and aims to reach our Portugese speaking neighbors with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Living Stones Slavic Church
LSSC began as a church plant from Sandy Springs, GA in 2022. Over the following 2+ years, they outgrew our facility and currently meet at Hope Fellowship Church (6230 Matt Hwy, Cumming GA 30028). Hope Fellowship is another Gospel-centered church in our Greater Lanier Association. You can find out more about LSSC on their Facebook page.
