OUR VISION 

In 1996 Cherry Log Christian Church was founded with a unique set of values based on inclusion, acceptance, and the desire to learn, live more like, and represent Jesus in its community.  

Thirty years later, Cherry Log is grateful for the courage and legacy of its founders, rejoices in its present leadership, and commits to move its heritage of acceptance of all and service to community into the future through following the way of Jesus.

We will:

  • BeLove within the fellowship of CLCC, building relationships in ministry to and support of every generation at Cherry Log and increasing opportunities for the spiritual growth of all.

  • BeLove in Gilmer and Fannin counties and beyond as God leads, building relationships, becoming community with our neighbors, and creating life-changing experiences for all we encounter.

Cherry Log proclaims: “From our very founding in 1996 by Dr. Fred Craddock, Cherry Log Christian Church (DoC) has welcomed all people into the full life of the church, membership, and leadership.  We covenant with God at the Lord’s Table to embrace all.  We live into our commitments by offering radical hospitality, following our motto to BeLove.”

———————————————

You whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, ‘You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off ‘;
do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.

Isaiah 41:9-10

INVITE MORE MEANING INTO YOUR LIFE 

You might be like many of us here in the mountains… we love our community, love nature, and love feeling connected to both.

And maybe that feels like enough love.

But oftentimes we need to know a deeper sense of love, a wholly different experience of love. A spiritual love that transcends all the noise of modern life and grounds us to the divine core of our being. A love which implores us to use our talents and time and blessings to help others. A love that reassures us of our worth on our darkest days. A love which leaves life much more meaningful.

We here at Cherry Log Christian Church realize it’s not simply that we need more love, but that we are called to BE Love.

If you feel the call to BeLove, we want your heart with ours. Our church is open and welcoming to all… and we look forward to welcoming you!

It takes courage to stand alone. It takes courage to stand with people others are happy to scapegoat and exclude. It takes courage to proclaim the radical message of Jesus—that God loves everyone, no exceptions. Cherry Log Christian Church is a courageous church, and I’m so grateful for their leadership and example.

Brian McLaren

And what was God leading us to do and to be?
To be the heart of Jesus Christ in this place and to serve human needs as He did.
The final act of the gospel on the human heart is to leave us grateful and gracious.

Dr. Fred Craddock

Tucked away in the winding roads of North Georgia, Cherry Log Christian Church serves as a center of progressive faith. It inspires action on behalf of community and world. It provides members and visitors the spiritual sustenance needed for their journey of service in the name of Christ. All are welcome here.

Sharon Watkins, Former General Minister, DOC

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13: 34-35
