“This accomplishment is a tribute to the dedicated North Georgia leaders and members who over more than a century have demonstrated faithful commitment to the mission of the Church of God,” stated Dr. Michael Baker, administrative bishop. “The assimilation of believers into the life of a local congregation is vital to the growth and development of a healthy local church. This recognition is the result of many devoted and faithful North Georgia leaders, pastors, ministers and laity. Let me express appreciation to everyone over the decades for their vision, devotion to ministry, and faithfulness bringing us to this high point celebration.”
Baker went on to thank the International Executive Committee for their action, honor and congratulations for North Georgia’s achievement.
“As we continue to focus on the future,” Baker concluded, “let us join our hearts and hands together, standing shoulder-to-shoulder as we move to the next level of ministry.”
