5 /5 M Herndon: When I first moved to Toccoa in Oct 2015, I visited another prominent SBC in town, and wanted to give fair consideration to other churches.
My first visit to Ebenezer was on Pastor Appreciation Sunday. I quickly understood why this church appreciated their pastor, "Pastor Andy". Unlike many churches that almost worship the pastor, this church LOVED their pastor. I could see his authenticity from the pulpit... but when I met him in person, I realized he was the exact same man. A man who truly loves the Lord and wants to serve the people God has entrusted to his care.
OK.... enough about Pastor Andy... Hes great, but there are so many great things about the church.
The rest of the staff, both pastoral and support, are ever available to the members AND visitors. The Sunday School teachers that I have had the pleasure of getting to know are terrific lay-leaders.
Yes, its a big church, but there is truly something for everyone there. The church encourages everyone to get involved in some fashion, and the churchs passion is missions.
I do love my church and I am so grateful I have found a church home at Ebenezer.
