East Cobb, Marietta, Georgia
"We must realize that the kingdom of God is greater than the East Cobb church," said elder Jim Tidwell, explaining why East Cobb was becoming a church planting church. During this time Don Elliot, another elder, was meeting periodically with Glenn Robb, then the evangelism/church planting minister of the North Atlanta church, praying and strategizing about church planting in the greater Atlanta area. Church planting movements are born out of such dreams. As a result, East Cobb has become the partnering church in planting the Northern Hills church in Cherokee County, north of Marietta in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Tim and Annette Broadwell are doing a wonderful job in equipping a core group of about 60 people. The East Cobb church will host the Southeast Church Planting Workshop, August 17-18. We praise God for the vision of this church planting church!
