Be Part of What Happens Here
The music, the message, this community on the water… it all runs on people who show up and people who give. If Church on the ‘Hooch moved you this summer, we’d love to know you were here. And if you’re moved to support us, every gift helps make this ministry possible.

Hymns on the 'Hooch
1. Come, Thou Fount
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
mount of thy redeeming love.
Here I raise mine Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I’m come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.
2. Great is Thy Faithfulness
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
REFRAIN:
“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!”
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. (Refrain)
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! (Refrain)

When summer rolls around, we trade the pews for the pier and take worship outside — right on the banks of West Point Lake. It’s casual, it’s beautiful, and it’s exactly what Sunday mornings in Georgia were made for.
Bring a lawn chair. Bring your boat. Bring your family.
The lake and the Lord are both out here waiting.
See you in June! In the meantime, keep up with us on our Church on the Hooch Facebook Page.
