Our Story

Hamilton County and North Georgia are fast growing communities – expanding 2.5 times faster than the national average. But rapid growth brings more brokenness, people searching for purpose, marriages losing hope, and families walking in darkness.


That's why Pillar Church exists –  to build lives on the foundation of Jesus!


We know this journey because we've lived it. When we (Angela and I) first met, we were those broken people searching for answers. But through a real encounter with God, everything changed. We built our lives on Jesus, and He transformed our story.


Now we're bringing that same life-changing hope to our community. Not just another church, but a place where broken lives find wholeness through authentic encounters with God. Where you can discover what we discovered – that when you build your life on Jesus, nothing stays the same.
