The Need: Why Paulding County?

Metro Atlanta has experienced phenomenal growth for the last two decades. Yet Paulding County did not experience suburban sprawl until approximately seven years ago.

According to statistics from the North American Mission Board and the Paulding County Commission:

  • • Paulding County is the 9th fastest growing county in the nation in housing starts.
  • • Paulding County is the 13th fastest growing county in the nation in population.
  • • Paulding County is the youngest county in the state of Georgia , with an average age of 29.
  • • Paulding County is the 4th most unchurched county in the state of Georgia


Ninety-two percent of the people in the county do not attend church regularly! Seventy-eight percent show no church membership at all.

In central Paulding County, where we feel led to target, there is tremendous growth taking place. These stats show population growth (actual and projected) for this specific region:

2006 Actual 2011 Projection
3 Mile Radius 24,931 34,965
5 Mile Radius 47,580 66,515
Paulding County 127,032 177,161

There are very few churches in this area specifically targeting the young adults and young families that live here
