Lake Oconee Church is a growing, non denominational church located approximately one hour east of Atlanta in the Lake Oconee region of Georgia, a highly desirable, upscale lake community known for its golf courses, waterfront homes, and rapid development. Planted in 2013, the church has experienced steady growth and now welcomes around 500 people each Sunday across two identical services at 9:15a and 10:45a. Under the leadership of Lead Pastor Andy McQuaid since 2014, the church has completed two building phases and continues to position itself for long term impact in a rapidly expanding and affluent community.

Lake Oconee Church is a partner church within the Irresistible Church Network and shares a strong commitment to creating engaging, strategic, and mission driven Sunday environments designed to reach people far from God. The church has built a strong culture of small groups with over 90 percent of regular attenders connected in groups, sees consistent first time guest engagement, and maintains a high percentage of people serving on teams.
