Alissa Rothschild

Lead Pastor

My husband, Joe, and I moved to Georgia in 2004 from San Diego, CA where were both raised and where our parents still live. Joe and I did not grow up in the faith – and, it wasn’t until we moved to Georgia that we were baptized and Jesus took root in our lives and changed everything.

I know first hand what it is like to live life without God and I know how hopeless, empty, and broken life can seem. I know how lonely life can be without the beauty of community. And, I also know that, with Jesus, all of these things can change – radically.

My greatest desire in life is to help people understand that there is more to life than this – both for non-Believers and Believers alike.

Things I Like

I really enjoy getting lost in a good book, cooking for my family & friends, and pottery – which is my newest hobby (in other words, I am pretty terrible at it, but I like it a lot).
