Our Pastors

Roy & Lumis Garrett were in business in the Bowdon area for over 20 years. During this time they were also involved in personal ministry and were leaders in the local church. In 1987 the Garrett's sold their business to go into full time ministry, moving to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to attend Rhema Bible Institute Training Center. After graduating in 1990, they returned to Georgia and became part of the pastoral staff of Christ Fellowship, Carrollton. In 1997 with the blessings of their church, they founded Community Church. We now have a 23,000 square foot facility with an eventual seating capacity of 750 people. This will accommodate the various ministries of the church and special community activities. Their vision is Luke 4:18-19. They desire to minister God's Word and healing to all people. Roy and Lumis have been married for 40 years. They have two children and are also blessed grandparents.
