Pastor Mark and Lequita planted ALC in August of 2001. With a vision from God, they launched a church from nothing in one of the fastest growing areas in the country. Pastor Mark is a well-known resident of North Georgia with rich community connections and Lequita has a heart to see children grow into thriving disciples. They have two adult children, Jay and Maggie. In 2016, they began a ministry close to their hearts, reaching people in Nobere, a region in Burkina Faso, Africa.
