Thanks for visiting our place on the web. Whether you are a regular attender or maybe looking for a church home, this site was built with you in mind. While you gather info we hope you also may feel the love that we and God have for you. He really loves us more than we could ever imagine. When we make Him the LORD and SAVIOR of our life He makes life worth living. Isn't that really what we are after anyway? Through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ we will find the love, peace and joy that God offers.
If you are looking for a church of people who love God and love people then come and be a part of one of our services. You will be glad you did and so will we!!! Pastor Brad

We take the care and protection of children here very seriously. We do background checks on all who work with children and all workers must go through special training.

All who work with children are required to follow strict rules of conduct at all times. During every service, ushers monitor the building and grounds
to ensure safety. We also have security cameras installed throughout the church.

Also, children will only be released to their parent(s) following the service.

SMALL GROUP MINISTRIES
The church doesn't save us but it is a part of God's plan to assist His people in becoming more like Jesus. Our ministries are designed for that purpose. From the Nursery to our Seniors For Christ we are helping people become all they can be for God. We encourage you to get involved in one of these small groups to build your relationship with God and with His people. Just click the "Adult Ministries" or "Youth and Children" tabs above to learn more.

1.Everyone who works with children must fill out a Children’s Worker Application form. A “child” is anyone who is under the age of 18. “Worker” includes leaders, teachers, assistant teachers, helpers, drivers or anyone who will be or may be around children because of their position in the church. This also includes spouses who may be helping their spouse in any of these ministries.

2.Everyone who works with children must sign the covenant at the bottom of the Child Protection Policy.

3.Everyone who works with children must be willing to undergo a criminal background check.

4.Anyone who has been convicted of child abuse (either sexual abuse, physical abuse, or emotional abuse) will not be allowed to work with children. Other crimes also may disqualify someone from working with children.

5.Everyone who works with children must have been a member of this church for at least 3 months.

6.Everyone who works with children must always observe the “Two Adult Rule”. This means that an adult must never be alone with a child behind closed doors or in a secluded location. This also includes counseling and/or transporting children.

8.All workers will be required to attend training sessions which at times will include training in the area of child protection.

15.The Child Protection Committee reserves the right to make revisions to these policies. (The Child Protection Committee is made up of the Pastor, Deacons and Department Leaders.)

I have read the Child Protection Policy above and as a worker at First Assembly of God, Dallas, GA, I agree to support, promote and abide by these policies. I understand that these policies are in place for the protection of children and also for my protection as a worker.
