One of the best kept secrets in the Kingdom is Mountain Lake Church in Cumming, GA. Shawn Lovejoy has done a fantastic work in the 10 years since he planted the church. Over 70% of the people at Mountain Lake were baptized after coming to faith at Mountain Lake. Their vision is laser sharp and has a serious focus on reaching those who are far from God. Every year, they baptize 10-15% of the people who are attending.

And their new facility, designed by my friend Mel McGowan of Visioneering Studios, is unique, amazing, and a super cool teaching atmosphere. With the opening of that venue, the church has seen a real bump in attendance, which has swelled to around 2500.

This year, Mountain Lake has made a strategic decision to ratchet up the ministry in all areas, and people are beginning to notice. When we recently announced their Student & Teaching Pastor search, we had over 400 responses. The finalists list we are putting together for Shawn is really great pool of talent.

I am pleased to announce that Tony Morgan and I will be helping Mountain Lake find their next Executive Pastor.

Feel free to reach me at william@vanderbloemensearch.com with questions or to submit your resume. All correspondence is kept in strict confidence. And if you want to bump into either Tony or me and see the Mountain Lake, then attend the ChurchPlanters.com conference, Velocity, in two weeks. Tony and I are teaching there, and we can get you a sweet deal on a ticket.
