summer at Foothills Community Church

I haven't blogged in quite a while, but as July is approaching rapidly, I wanted to touch on a couple of highlights so far this summer at Foothills Community Church.

Even though we are in the middle of summer, things are happening at FCC!

Our Student ministry (middle and sr. high school) led by Pastor Justin Terry had their Axis summer camp in Myrtle Beach a couple of weeks ago. The theme this year was Limitless.... God is able to accomplish more than we can think or imagine (Eph. 3:20)
This is the second year in a row that we have done our own student camp. This year was even better. We were joined by churches from Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and of course South Carolina and Georgia.
I was not able to get there, but I have been told by many that this was the best camp experience that they had ever been a part of. Justin did a great job of building a team of staff and volunteers that helped make this event such a great success. The teenagers loved the worship times and other activities.

Our Kids camp (3rd grade through 6th grade) just got back from their camp in Alabama, and the feedback was the same. Another home run. My wife (Liz Oraham), is a great leader and is passionate about helping kids find and follow Jesus, but she had wonderful volunteers that came to help make sure it was a fantastic experience for the kids. This was the largest group of kids that have gone ever, and judging by the response, next year will be even bigger!


We celebrated The Lord's Supper and baptisms during a special Sunday evening service that was amazing. Pastor David Odom and his worship team did an acoustic evening that was incredible. Our Habersham and Toccoa campuses came together in Toccoa for theirs which was really cool.
These are always services that I look forward to. We'll be doing another one in the Fall.


We started a summer series (June and July) through the book of Proverbs called, "There's an App For That" that is so much fun. Proverbs is such a practical book, that there is no way you can read it without being challenged.

We are seeing the Lord do many amazing things in people's lives. I love hearing the God-stories!  Keep inviting your friends!
