A local church has added more space thanks to a generous member.Cumming Baptist, located in downtown, recently closed on the purchase of nearly 6 acres adjacent to its home. Pastor Barry Crocker said the land, which is between Dahlonega Highway and Tribble Gap Road, is mostly wooded but does have one unoccupied house. “It’s five and a half acres, so it more than doubled our property,” Crocker said.
