Meet Jamie and Autumn Fullington! 

We are the Fullingtons. I currently serve Connection Church Athens as Discipleship and College Pastor alongside my wife Autumn and our 3 awesome kids AJ, Mary Ellen, and Wren. Our first interaction with the Connection Network was way back in 2012 while Autumn and I were both in college at Georgia Southern University where we saw the benefits of genuine, biblical community first-hand. Upon graduating from College we both moved back to the Athens, Ga area and got married shortly after. When Connection Church Athens was planted in 2020, we were excited to come on board with the launch team and be a part of a Bible-rooted and gospel-centered church in the Athens area. After both Autumn and I served the church in a variety of roles, in July of 2023, I left my sales job to come on staff full time at Connection Church Athens.

Our desire is that our family would be an authentic reflection of Christ wherever we go. We believe strongly that the best way to impact our city and play our role in God’s global mission is by targeting specific communities around Athens by multiplying disciples, Connect Groups, and churches in our area. Autumn and I both grew up in the Oconee county area, and we are excited to plant a Connection Church in a place that means so much to our family. We trust that God goes before us and has prepared ministry work for us to do in a rapidly growing area of NE Georgia. We are extremely thankful to the people and leadership of Connection Church Athens, as well as many others, who God has used to help shape and equip us for this next step. We are grateful to those who have so graciously supported us by sending us out to make an impact for God’s kingdom. Please join us in praying for Connection Church Oconee as we seek to do the work that God has prepared in advance for us to do!

Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
