24 churches. One mission. One Georgia. 🍑

This morning, Forrest B. Johnson & Associates is visiting 24 churches throughout our community because this is bigger than “Car Wreck? Get a Check!”

This is about the future of the State of Georgia.

We want to make sure everyone is registered to vote, knows where to vote, and understands that every voice—and every vote—matters. We are also extending a personal invitation to join us for a meet and greet with Keisha Lance Bottoms, candidate for Governor of Georgia, on August 29 from 5:00–7:00 p.m. at the Tubman Museum.

Twenty-four churches in one morning—and we are just getting started. When our communities are informed, engaged, and united, Georgia moves forward.

Get registered. Know your polling place. Show up. Be heard.

Join us at New Hope in Macon on Sunday, May 3 at 10:00 AM for a special non-traditional service focused on mental health awareness and faith. This powerful experience will bring together honest conversation and spiritual insight, reminding us that caring for our mental well-being is not separate from our faith; it’s a part of it.
We are honored to welcome special guest panelist Dr. Tonja Lee, PhD, who will help guide a meaningful discussion on healing, growth, and the importance of doing the work, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Come ready for a real, impactful conversation. Because faith and mental wellness go hand in hand.
