Inspiration from Johns Creek Christian Church
Last month Johns Creek Christian Church, just outside of Atlanta, GA, celebrated their first anniversary as an Open & Affirming Ministry.
At their celebratory service, Sue Knight shared her reflections on the history of that decision and what it has meant to her and the church.
“I have been an elder, church secretary, a member of the Pastoral Relations Committee and a member of the search team who called Dr. Rich as senior minister to this congregation. But I can honestly say that being a part of the decision to become an Open & Affirming congregation is the one accomplishment that I am most proud of, either in my professional or spiritual life.”
– Sue Knight, Elder, Johns Creek Christian Church
