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. Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
REFRAIN:
Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
(Refrain)
What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
(Refrain)
2. When We All Get to Heaven
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus;
sing his mercy and his grace.
In the mansions bright and blessed
he’ll prepare for us a place.
REFRAIN:
When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
we’ll sing and shout the victory!
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
clouds will overspread the sky;
but when traveling days are over,
not a shadow, not a sigh.
(Refrain)
Let us then be true and faithful,
trusting, serving every day;
just one glimpse of him in glory
will the toils of life repay.
(Refrain)
Onward to the prize before us!
Soon his beauty we’ll behold;
soon the pearly gates will open;
we shall tread the streets of gold.
(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.
