Braelinn Baptist Church in

Peachtree City advertised itself as a purpose-driven church in 1987.

From its beginning then through

its plan for growth in 2001, it has not strayed from that goal.

The Sunday morning services

minister to an average attendance of 1,000 persons. They are still in

the business of transforming lives and equipping members for an effective

and meaningful ministry, so they may in turn minister to others in order

to glorify God.

In planning for the future,

the church has purchased 83 acres on north Ga. Highway 74 at Dogwood Trail.

All segments of membership

work in ministering to others. Last summer about 50 youth and adults traveled

to Birmingham, Knoxville and Puerto Rico working primarily on repairing

substandard housing. About 50 adults traveled to Italy, Croatia, North

Africa and Kazakstan performing street evangelism, setting up an underground

recording studio and relieving a worship team aboard a ship.

The Rev. Barry Odom, associate

pastor, said they are very proud of the newest ministry in the church,

teaching English as a second language. Conducted each Monday night, the

class has attracted people originally from Pakistan, Mexico, Columbia

and Japan. Call the church for more information.

Braelinn Community Services

is another fairly recent ministry. To date they have found dozens of cars

for people in need, and assist families with food, jobs, mentoring and

tutoring.

The congregation is looking

forward to the Easter season when it will be holding special Easter services

Saturday night, April 14, at 6 p.m. and Sunday morning at 8 a.m., 9 a.m.,

and 10:30 a.m. The annual Easter egg hunt will take place Saturday morning.

Regular worship hours are at

9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Bible studies are held both at the church on Sunday

mornings and at various homes throughout the week.

The church is located at 777

Robinson Road and can be reached at 770-487-6691.
