PRESIDENT
Bryant Wright, pastor, Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, Ga. -- In 2010, Johnson Ferry Baptist Church reported primary worship attendance of 4,133; 310 baptisms; undesignated receipts of $15,636,281; Cooperative Program contributions of $547,270; a Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions gift of $686,298; an Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions gift of $22,979; and $3,009,383 in total missions expenditures.
While the Annual Church Profile report showed slightly different numbers in certain categories, the difference may be due to the fact that Johnson Ferry reports its Annual Church Profile information based on a Sept. 1 - Aug. 31 church year, while the GBC and LifeWay reports use a Jan. 1 - Dec. 31 year.
