In September 2005 a gathering was held to answer the question: Do you want to worship and serve in your own community? The outcome was that several people began meeting monthly in a home. Randy Russell, a Pastor at the Bible Church became the interim Pastor of the fledgling church plant. The group moved to Perry Harrison School in January of 2006, meeting on alternate Sunday evenings. By the summer the name Chatham Community Church was adopted. By summer the church met weekly, discussing What is a church and why do we desire to become one? By the Fall our people were knowing each other and bonding together. Our common goals have been taking meaningful worship, relevant teaching, faithful prayer for others, the investment in children, and service to people in the county sincerely and with real joy. In February 2007 we started to meet on Sunday mornings and welcomed likeminded believers and seekers to join us. Those who come are enjoying our companionship and are excited about serving the Lord, the church and the people around us. It is a thrill to plant something new for God in Chatham!
