🌿 Why We Are Supporting Autrey Mill Nature Preserve

Well...they're nice people. And they're cool. But more than that, the good folks at Autrey Mill Nature Preserve believe that every child deserves a chance to explore and discover the magic of the outdoors - regardless of ability or income.

Whether it’s the thrill of discovering a salamander on a shaded trail, the joy of roasting marshmallows at camp, learning about local history, or the quiet wonder of listening to birds sing—these experiences should be for all children, not just those who can afford it. That’s why Autrey Mill provides camp scholarships to families in need and thoughtfully adapts their programs for children with medical challenges and different abilities. Our support helps Autrey Mill Nature Preserve keep saying “yes” to every child who needs a place to belong, grow, and thrive in nature.

Johns Creek Baptist Church (and the whole Johns Creek Community!) is pleased to have a chance to help open the woods to everyone with the proceeds from the 2nd Annual JCBC Jaunt.
