The long-awaited groundbreaking ceremony for East Cobb Church took place Oct. 14, four years after Northpoint Ministries purchased more than 33 acres at the southwest corner of Johnson Ferry and Shallowford roads.
Local officials, church members and others in the community were on-hand for the event, which is the official start of the construction process for the 125,000-square-foot worship center (rendering below),
East Cobb Church got a land disturbance permit from the county last year, but had to wait to break ground due to flood plain issues and for the recent relocation of Waterfront Drive at Johnson Ferry.
The church will occupy 13 of those acres; Northpoint sold the remaining 20 acres after rezoning to Ashwood Atlanta, a residential developer.
East Cobb Church began worship services in 2020 at Eastside Church, but earlier this year began holding services at Blessed Trinity Church in Roswell while it awaits its new campus.
