HISTORY
The Etowah River church of Christ,
formerly the Dawsonville church of Christ, was formed in 1988 by
three local families. Together those families purchased a
country home on seven and a half acres located on Highway 53.
Remodeling of the facility took place in 1996, however,
increased membership and the providence of God allowed the
congregation to acquire eleven and one half acres on Etowah
River Road.
The people had a mind to work and the new building was
completed in June 2002. The design of the building is sixteenth
century Normandy. On the road leading to the church building you
must pass over a bridge. The covered bridge over Palmer Creek
was completed in August 2003. The bridge is called "Grace" which
is the bridge between God and man. A special dedication service
was held September 21, 2003 at 10:00 am.
An open pavilion was completed in June 2002. This will seat
200 for a sit down meal. Work was completed the summer of 2006
to enclose the pavilion so that it can be used for a spanish
work - teen activities - and a fellowship building. Other
long-term plans include building a larger place of worship and
turning the present facilities into a school.
God has been at work through his people and credit for any
accomplishments must go to him. To God be the glory.
