Be Part of What Happens Here
The music, the message, this community on the water… it all runs on people who show up and people who give. If Church on the ‘Hooch moved you this summer, we’d love to know you were here. And if you’re moved to support us, every gift helps make this ministry possible.

Hymns on the 'Hooch
1. How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed.
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Savior-God, to thee,
“How great thou art! How great thou art!”
Then sings my soul, my Savior-God to thee,
“How great thou art! How great thou art!”
When through the woods and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze, [Refrain]
And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,
Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin. [Refrain]
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim: “My God, how great thou art!” [Refrain]
2. Blessed Assurance
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O, What a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending, bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain]
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest;
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with His goodness, lost in His love. [Refrain]

When summer rolls around, we trade the pews for the pier and take worship outside — right on the banks of West Point Lake. It’s casual, it’s beautiful, and it’s exactly what Sunday mornings in Georgia were made for.
Bring a lawn chair. Bring your boat. Bring your family.
The lake and the Lord are both out here waiting.
See you in June! In the meantime, keep up with us on our Church on the Hooch Facebook Page.
