Faith Community Church

What Faith Community Church does

Faith Community Church is an independent, reformed Southern Baptist church founded in 1997 and headquartered at 1100 Woodstock Parkway, Woodstock, Georgia. Its core product is weekly Sunday worship services featuring verse-by-verse expository preaching led by Teaching Pastor Dr. Shane Koehler, supported by two adult Bible study classes (Cornerstone at 9:00 a.m. and Sojourners at 11:00 a.m.), a Spanish-language worship track (Faith en Español at 1:00 p.m.), and alternating-evening Benediction services. The organization layers a structured, multi-generational ministry ecosystem on top of its Sunday services, including children/youth programming built on the Generations of Grace curriculum, men's and women's ministries, college-and-career programming, biblical counseling, and a training arm comprising Faith Music Academy and Expositors Seminary.

The underlying technology stack is light and oriented around distribution rather than differentiation: a WordPress-based church website, a dedicated sermon media platform (media.faithcommunitychurch.org) with searchable archives back to 2021 and podcast syndication to Apple, Spotify, and RSS, a Church Center online registration system for camps, classes, and academy signups, and live-streaming of Sunday services. Fifteen-plus area-based Community Groups meeting in members' homes across Ball Ground, Canton, East Cobb, Woodstock, Marietta, Towne Lake, and other Cherokee County/Metro Atlanta submarkets function as the church's distributed small-group network and the primary relationship-maintenance layer outside of Sunday services.

The organization's revenue model is exclusively voluntary: tithes and offerings from congregation members (recurring/general-operations support) and designated giving initiatives such as the December Giving Tree capital campaign, which generated roughly 40% of 2025 Building Fund income. No fees are charged for worship services or ministry programming. In 2025, undesignated contributions rose 2.5% while average Sunday attendance rose 10% and 81 new members joined, suggesting a healthy but not yet self-funded expansion dynamic that is partially supported by non-cash asset contributions such as a $3.2 million adjacent land donation received in December 2025.

Direct peers

• Browns Bridge Church: Nearby Southern Baptist-affiliated church in Cumming, GA, with a comparable multi-generational ministry structure and small-group-driven growth model serving the north Atlanta suburbs.
• First Baptist Church Woodstock: Another large Southern Baptist church physically located in Woodstock, GA, directly competing for the same Cherokee County congregation with a comparable expository, program-rich model.
• Woodstock City Church: Non-denominational church also based in Woodstock, GA, targeting the same suburban Atlanta families and competing for the same community-group-driven member acquisition pattern.

Broad incumbents

• Johnson Ferry Baptist Church: Large Southern Baptist church in Marietta, GA — the dominant incumbent in west Cobb — with substantially more scale, more programs, and multi-site operations overlapping FCC's catchment.
• 12Stone Church: Multi-site non-denominational church headquartered in Lawrenceville, GA, with multiple campuses across the metro area and a strong community-group and small-groups model analogous to FCC's.
• Free Chapel: Multi-site church based in Gainesville/Hamilton Mill, GA, with broadcast media reach and a contemporary worship style that overlaps FCC's commuter-belt audience.
• Perimeter Church: Reformed-evangelical church in Johns Creek, GA, with a similar theological posture, expository teaching, and emphasis on community and biblical counseling, but a larger footprint and broader program slate.
• North Point Community Church: Mega non-denominational church in Alpharetta, GA — the dominant brand in the Atlanta region — competing for the same young families and unchurched population with a very different seeker-sensitive model.

Emerging players

• Watermark Community Church: Large non-denominational church in Dallas, TX, with a comparable theology-of-community, community-group-driven discipleship model — useful as a same-archetype peer despite different geography.

Others

• Church Center (by Planning Center): SaaS vendor whose online registration platform FCC already uses for membership class, women's Bible study, Faith Music Academy, and baptisms — a meaningful technology/operations peer dependency.
