God has been at work in our new location in Peachtree Corners, which just celebrated its first anniversary! In year one, we got to see God bring 129 new guests, and celebrated 7 baptisms. We celebrated Christmas together, launched Kids Ministry, had our very first VBS, and partnered with Sugarloaf Urgent Care to help provide medical care to our community.

The Weekday Podcast offers a powerful start to each day, helping listeners center themselves with encouragement and wisdom from God’s word. In just five minutes, it creates a meaningful space for reflection and intention, making it easy to incorporate faith into daily routines. Many listeners find that these moments provide strength and clarity, equipping them to handle the challenges of each day with a positive and grounded mindset. By consistently tuning in, they experience a deeper connection to their faith and a renewed sense of purpose throughout the week.

Rock Sunday has become a powerful tradition around Sugar Hill Church. This year, we spent this month of January reflecting and discerning what God wanted to do in each of our lives in 2025. We ended the month with Rock Sunday, where we each had the opportunity to write a word we felt God had given us for the year on a rock, symbolizing a focus or promise that we felt led to embrace. The rock serves as a tangible reminder of God’s guidance throughout the year, empowering individuals to live out their word with purpose and trust.

This year, we’ve witnessed God’s presence and power in incredible ways during moments of prayer in our services. Each gathering has brought a profound sense of connection, as individuals join together in faith, lifting their voices and hearts to Him. These times of prayer have not only strengthened our community but have also inspired personal transformations, healing, and renewed hope. We are grateful for the ways God has moved among us, reminding us of His faithfulness and the power of prayer to bring lasting change.

For many years, we have admired and supported the work of Convoy of Hope as they feed hungry children, empower communities with the resources and skills to support themselves, and respond to disasters around the world. This year, we stepped into a deeper partnership with them to participate in their regional and global efforts, and 180 of you responded and said "we're in!" We're excited to see how God will use this new partnership, so make sure to stay tuned for upcoming mission trips and disaster relief trainings!

Our partnership with Gwinnett County Schools is truly a privilege. Through initiatives like the Backpack Project, Christmas gift sponsorships, and serving as first responders for school counselors and administrators helping families navigate difficult circumstances, we help address critical needs and promote student well-being. In addition, our Kids Pastors film character development videos for elementary schools, and show love and gratitude to our educators with events like teacher appreciation coffee bars and breakfasts.

Sugar Hill Church is dedicated to supporting over 60 students in the Peachtree Village neighborhood through our partnership with Path United. Our committed volunteers meet with elementary through high school students at least twice a week, offering homework assistance and mentorship. Beyond academics, these sessions are about building trust and creating lasting, positive relationships that empower students to succeed. Through this partnership, we aim to be a consistent source of encouragement and guidance, helping each student grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Pastor Chuck’s role as Chaplain for the Gwinnett Police Department offers vital emotional and spiritual support to officers and families facing traumatic events. By responding to emergency calls, he provides a compassionate presence that helps individuals process grief and find strength in times of crisis. In addition to his immediate support, he and our Beyond team also organize gatherings and meals throughout the year to show appreciation and gratitude for our police officers for their service to our community.

After the tragic 2022 shooting in Uvalde, we felt a strong calling to support the community in its journey of healing. Partnering with Crossroads Academy High School, we’ve been able to assist in facility improvements and foster relationships with students and families who have faced unique challenges. This year, we celebrated the graduation of 55 students! We also engaged with Border Patrol and local authorities, helping to bridge tensions and honor those protecting the community. By providing Christmas gifts, hosting events, and bringing uplifting experiences, we aim to bring moments of joy and light to Uvalde as they continue to move forward.

We believe that the Church, the body of Christ, is God's plan to change the world, and we should work together. Over the year, we invested in 150 different churches on their church progress through a pastor program, partnered with a church plant in Denver, assisted a church in Tennessee in launching a new marriage ministry with 300+ in attendance, and Pastor Bobby is leading strategic vision retreat this month in the Midwest/Chicago for 58 different churches. We also partnered financially with Practicing the Way, who provide free spiritual formation resources to 7,486 churches all across the United States and in 122 other countries around the world.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, our immediate response included providing  water, fuel, and groceries to churches in North Augusta to assist in bringing immediate relief and meeting basic needs. Meanwhile, we’re also coordinating with organizations in North Carolina to stay updated on recovery needs. As conditions improve, we’ll assess when our Home Repair Ministry team can step in to help with longer-term rebuilding efforts.

We have partnered with Untold (formerly Care FOR Aids) in the Kisumu region of Kenya since 2012! Since that time, the work has grown to include 4 countries, 12 regions, over 100 church centers, with 42,141 program graduates representing 108,000 dependent children who are no longer at risk of being orphaned.

We have joined forces with Mission House to minister to 15 Mayan villages in the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula. These are literally unreached areas where in most cases people have never heard about Jesus and salvation in Him. Our goal is to plant a church in every village that doesn’t have one yet, establish a water purification plant in strategic locations to provide clean drinking water for over 10,000 people, and assist in critical needs that improve their quality of life, such as medical and dental clinics, pregnancy clinic, computer training, promoting organized sports initiatives, ESL for tourism industry training, entrepreneurial and vocational training, and more.

Pastor Bobby conducted leadership training to equip individuals in an international evangelistic ministry, empowering them to grow as leaders in their own communities. By sharing practical skills and insights, he helped participants gain confidence in their ability to lead and connect with others. This training equips them to reach more people, deepening the ministry’s impact around the world.

Getting away from the routine and distractions of everyday life creates a powerful environment for students to focus on building meaningful friendships and hearing truth from God’s Word. Our 2025 Winter Retreat provided the perfect opportunity for 122 Middle and High Schoolers to experience this mid-year refresh. By stepping into a setting dedicated to spiritual growth and connection, students were able to deepen their faith and bond with one another in new ways. These retreats offer a much-needed pause, allowing students to return to their routines with renewed energy, perspective, and a stronger sense of community.

Several times a semester, we go all-out with our Wednesday Night programming - think color wars, dance parties, inflatables, costume contests, and more! These high-energy events make a lasting impact by creating an environment where students can invite their friends - 88 students came to our programming for the very first time through one of these events. They are designed to foster a sense of community, where students can feel a sense of belonging and be encouraged to grow in a joyful, inclusive space. With each event, we strengthen the bond within our Student Ministry, and students eagerly look forward to them each semester.

On Sunday mornings, our students come together in Middle School and High School table groups to read and discuss portions of scripture, fostering a deeper understanding of God’s Word. This time allows students to engage with scripture in a meaningful way, asking questions and sharing insights in a supportive environment. Through these discussions, students build a strong foundation of biblical knowledge that strengthens their faith. These gatherings also create opportunities for connection, as students grow together in their walk with God and with one another.

Sunday mornings offer students a chance to serve and make a real difference in the church community. Through roles in Kids Ministry, the Welcome Home team, and High Schoolers leading Middle School table groups, students develop a heart for service while using their gifts to impact others. These opportunities allow them to grow in leadership, responsibility, and compassion as they help create a welcoming and supportive environment for all. By serving in these ways, students not only contribute to the church but also strengthen their own faith and sense of purpose.

GriefShare and DivorceCare groups provide compassionate support for those navigating the pain of loss or separation, creating a safe space for healing. Through guided discussions, participants find comfort in shared experiences and encouragement from others who understand their journey. These groups offer practical tools, spiritual guidance, and coping strategies to help individuals process difficult emotions and move forward with hope. By fostering a sense of community, GriefShare and DivorceCare help people rebuild their lives, knowing they don’t have to face their challenges alone.

In November, we had a special Sunday service at Lanier High School for our Español congregation to create an environment where our whole community could worship together. Seeing our community, our schools, and even local leaders come together in one place to worship God was something unique. It was a reminder that when we come together for a purpose, amazing things happen. 440 attended, 25 families visited for the first time, and 15 came back next Sunday! This day was living proof that faith can connect hearts and transform communities.

Our Español Couples events offer couples a dedicated time to reconnect, strengthen their bond, and grow together in their commitment. Our Fall Couples Conference had 110 couples in attendance! Through engaging workshops and activities, couples learn valuable communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and ways to nurture each other emotionally and spiritually. These events create opportunities for deeper understanding, helping couples to rekindle their connection and renew their focus on a shared future. By investing in their relationships, couples leave equipped and encouraged, with fresh insights and tools to build a lasting, joyful partnership.

Easter services in Español offer a powerful celebration of hope, renewal, and the joy of Christ's resurrection. Through heartfelt worship and messages in Spanish, individuals connect deeply with their faith and cultural heritage. These services create a welcoming space for families to grow spiritually while celebrating the significance of Easter. They leave a lasting impact, reminding attendees of God’s love and the new life found through Him.

This special service, honoring Mexico’s Día del Niño, creates a joyful space where children are celebrated and cherished. With engaging activities and lively entertainment, kids are immersed in a day filled with excitement and happiness. Teaching about God’s love in Spanish provides a meaningful connection to their faith and cultural roots. It’s a heartfelt event that nurtures their spiritual growth while celebrating the beauty and joy of childhood.
