We are excited to announce that our new Children's Minister is Allen Bishop. Allen and his wife, Jennifer, along with their 3 boys, will be joining us from Smyrna, TN (outside of Nashville) around the end of August or first of September. Allen's experience, vision, leadership, and passion for the local church will be tremendous assets to our church and God's work.
He will oversee all of our children's ministry programming in Dalton, Calhoun, & Chatsworth, providing leadership and direction to this ministry and its great staff & volunteers.
Let me add a word of thanks to the search team (2 staff members, 1 Elder, and 4 volunteers in Children's Ministry) who looked at dozens of resumes, interviewed many candidates, and prayed like crazy. We had several very, very strong candidates. Allen was interviewed multiple times on the phone, via Skype (internet video), and in person by our team. He took a personality assessment and completed a written set of questions. I spent several hours with him over a long lunch. We checked references. And God gave all of us tremendous peace and unity; God also spoke to Allen and his wife ... and now we have a new Children's Minister!!!
