The elders and ministers of the Burnt Hickory Church of Christ in Marietta had a vision of becoming a church that plants churches. After careful consideration and planning, they determined that Bartow county was a prime location for their first plant. In September 2018, a team of people planted Burnt Hickory Bartow, a branch of Burnt Hickory. Initially the group met at the Clarence Brown Center in Cartersville. A new location was found, and in January 2020 we began meeting in our new location at Hamilton Crossing in North Cartersville. Our effort has been to take what is best about Burnt Hickory, mix it with a little of our own flavor, and allow the Spirit to create something new in Bartow County.
