New Beginnings Recovery Church, a community church aimed at helping those who are recovering from addiction, will soon open its doors in Butts County.
Garret and Christina Vandever bought the former home of Emmanuel Baptist Church, located off Ga. Highway 42 in Flovilla, and have spent the past four months renovating and updating the building.
