Pastor Carole and Douglas Hulslander

Still Waters Church was started in the home of Carole and Doug Hulslander in Woodstock, Georgia while Pastor Carole was employed as a scientist at Kimberly Clark, as an outgrowth of the many co-op students she ministered to needing a place to worship and belong.  The church began with a congregation of eight people.

Still Waters eventually outgrew the Hulslander's home living room and relocated to Marietta, Georgia, where one of the members was able to work out a rental agreement with his apartment complex's clubhouse.  The club house was able to seat 30 people.

As the church grew there was less play area for the children and no room for other ministries such as Sunday School classes. It was at this time the pastor of Sandy Springs United Methodist Church heard about Still Waters in a meeting with Pastor Carole and offered Still Waters a place to worship. Services were held in various places at this facility(chapel, parlor and gym). The church continued to grow, but found it difficult to minister to the neighborhood the way God had called this vision - to the homeless and people of all backgrounds.

2006

Still Waters is finally able to move into its own facility. Cokesbury United Methodist Church, unfortunately faced with high expenses and decreasing membership, graciously gifts Still Waters its facilities on North Druid Hills Road.

2007

Blessed with additional space, Still Waters Learning Center is founded on the vision to fully equip children through a CHRIST Culture education to fulfill GOD’s great calling on their lives.

2013

Still Waters ministry continues growing steadily, continuing to reach out among its community, seeing people's lives changed through the discipleship of the Holy Spirit.

2017

On faith in God's calling, the ministry moves yet again to our facility on Oakbrook Drive in Norcross, with additional space to house the growing school and church ministries.

The vision of Still Waters is to be a people of all ethnicities and backgrounds; a reflection of the Lord's prayer in John 17:

My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one- I in them and you in me-so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

We are thankful to introduce our growing and diverse church family to the Norcross area and are excited to serve our new community.
