Building Unity

February - I was privileged to be introduced to Athens Church on one of my exploratory trips to Georgia, long before we moved here. From the very beginning Athens Church staff invited us to Athens and welcomed us with open arms when we arrived! A strategic partner with North Point, Athens Church is having a powerful impact on Athens. Since arriving I have connected with Sean Seay, Lead Pastor there, who not only is very supportive of bringing the pastors together to pray, he has invited me to his office to pray on a regular basis. Here are some of his thoughts on it.

My name is Sean Seay and I'm thankful to be the Lead Pastor of Athens Church. When I first arrived in Athens over 6 years ago I began meeting the local pastors who were here serving faithfully before I arrived. I met men who had been here a few months and others who had served here for over 30 years. They were all gracious, but only a few of the relationships made any significant progress. When God brought Steve to Athens it seems that this began to improve. His humble heart, willingness to serve, and unity mindset have been a huge encouragement. Not only do I feel I benefit from praying with him with the other pastors each month, but I also greatly enjoy our individual prayer times. He has been a massive source of encouragement. I truly feel God is using him in the city of Athens in a unique way. I praise God for Steve & his prayer partnership. Sean Seay
