I am going to guess conservativley: 5000!

What a service! I moved to Paulding County in 1990. Started a small country church in 1991 that launched the first Sunday of 1992. As I researched I discovered that only 4 counties in Georgia had a lower percentage of people attending church than Paulding. I began to pray about Paulding. God please bring some pastors that want to impact a community not just play church. 

Last night there were almost as many people on the parking lot at SAM’S as there were attending church in Paulding in 1991! In 1996 7% of the population of Paulding attended church, in 2008 11% now attend church. Community Transformation, Church Planting, and a Passion for People driven by the Grace of Jesus Christ have made a huge impact.

Brian said it well last night, something about making it difficult for anyone not to know about Jesus Christ. I like the way my friend Tommy Duke in Pittsburgh says it, “making it hard to go to hell from Pittsburgh!” Jesus said, “I will build MY church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” Last night 8 churches went knocking on the door. We are in the battle. Next year 15% in church, 7000 in worship and 15 churches and 5000 serving the community. To know and make Jesus famous in Paulding and Atlanta.
