06 Nov Church Highlight: Sugar Hill Church – Sugar Hill, GA
Sugar Hill is a small city located in the northern part of the state of Georgia. It is in close proximity to the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains and has a population of about 25,000 people. Sugar Hill is also home to Sugar Hill Church.
Sugar Hill Church feels it is their challenge to express the truth in love as revealed in scripture to bear witness to Jesus Christ who is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” Sugar Hill Church has what they call their “Big Three” – the foundational beliefs that drive who they are as a church. Their “Big Three” are “The Bible is a big deal. Jesus is the biggest deal. We live this out by serving here and around the world.”
Chuck Allen is the Lead Pastor at Sugar Hill Church. He’s been the Lead Pastor since 2011, but he’s been around Sugar Hill Church since 2008. Since day one, Pastor Chuck’s passion has been to encourage others with this one big belief: “You can do this! You can love God with all your heart, mind and soul and be normal!” You will often hear him say, “the Bible is a very big deal, Jesus is the very biggest deal and living that out always involves serving people here and around the globe.”
Pastor Chuck’s passion is to graciously lead people to Jesus and create a simple path for them to grow in their faith. Some of his goals are to reduce the dropout rate in their local schools, serve with their missions partners well, lead their church and families with a healthy fiscal plan, and in the future, to provide transitional housing for single moms. Pastor Chuck and his wife, Jenny, stay plenty busy with six daughters, three son-in-laws, five grandkids and an awesome dog, Kirby. They are foodies and enjoy eating through the Atlanta Magazine Top 50 Restaurants. Chuck’s favorite things to do include fishing, reading, writing and cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs!
