CHURCH AT A GLANCE
Lake Oconee Church is eleven years old and long-time ICN partner, meeting at our 15 acre campus at Lake Oconee in Greensboro, GA. Our ministry-area is Georgia’s “Lake Country,” consisting of Greensboro, Madison, Eatonton, and Milledgeville.
We’re located just south of I-20 beside Lake Oconee, about 60 minutes from Atlanta, 60 minutes from Augusta, and 60 minutes from Athens. The area offers one of the biggest lakes in the state, one of the best charter schools in the nation, and some of the prettiest golf courses around, allowing us to serve young families, successful business people, and mobile retirees.
