In the Asbury Family, we know this event as the Global Impact Celebration (GIC). This is the seventh GIC we have held at Asbury in the last 10 years. This is the third GIC where we have set aside two days in the middle of the celebration to host a conference on prayer and missions. The entire GIC and conference is for you! Please review the list of events below and plan to come-- experience a heart of worship with Asbury voices and instrumentalists. This is going to be a great week at Asbury.

He is one of the founders of the Bethlehem Community Development Credit Union, the first of its kind to be chartered in the State of Tennessee. The credit union is now known as the Church Koinonia Federal Credit Union: Bethlehem Branch due to a merger that strengthens the two credit unions.
