About Our Church
Church History
In January of 2012, Pastor Dwight Buckner Jr. started a local Tuesday night Bible study inside of his barber shop. With a heart to help the local Decatur, GA Community, each week Pastor Dwight would teach practical Christian lessons and the significance of applying God’s word to their lives. In addition, Pastor Dwight would give out free meals to anyone who was in need. After holding a local Bible study for over a year inside of his shop, Pastor Dwight heard the Lord telling him to preach “Hope” to a lost generation.
During an evening service, Pastor Dwight received a prophetic word that God was going to trust him with numbers, meaning people, and that several of the people that are to come would be young; this was just conformation of what God had already spoken to him. Pastor Dwight, who has a heart for youth and the next Generation, heard the Lord speak to him immediately after service. The voice of the Lord said “it’s time to start the church, and name the church The Generation of Hope Church”.
One month later, on Sunday February 17, 2013 Pastor Dwight started with twelve faithful members and founded the Generation of Hope Church
The Generation of Hope church is a young, growing, vibrant church with a desire to bring hope and change back to generations within the greater Atlanta, metropolitan area and throughout the world.
