In 1983, a handful of families gathered for the first time in a tiny daycare center in Tucker, GA. That Sunday, they planted Grace. Buddy Hoffman - younger and with slightly more hair - outlined the plan: Teach the Bible. Worship God. Make disciples. Each week they came together to pursue that goal in a worship area decorated with the daycare's weekly "art" projects and perfumed with the sweet scent of overstuffed diaper pails. A few months later, the small church was desperate for more space. During the search,Buddy connected with an older pastor who had more building than congregation.After a few minutes of conversation, the two men realized that this pastor had organized the tent revival where Buddy had come to faith as an 11-year-old child. This pastor was glad to pass his building on to the young congregation and their commitment to share the Gospel with more 11-year-olds.And so the fledgling church was transplanted - to the lovable and rickety old building on the corner of Lilburn Stone Mountain Road and Old Tucker Road. There, the church began to sink its roots into the community, developing its youth programs and vibrant missions focus.When the congregation again outgrew its space, the Lord provided our current campus in the heart of Gwinnett,within eight miles of eight of the biggest high schools in the county.
