Here are the top three stories today in Johns Creek:
- Baptist News Global is hiring in the Johns Creek area for a formations pastor. Quote: “Johns Creek Baptist Church of Alpharetta, Georgia, a northern suburb of Atlanta, is seeking a full-time Formations Pastor, to lead a comprehensive and progressive strategy for spiritual formation and theological education within the church.” Resumes should be sent to [email protected]. (Baptist News Global)
- The Johns Creek-based trucking corporation Saia will be opening four terminals in nearby Buford. The expansion in Buford is part of a national effort to expand the corporation’s footprint, totaling more than $400 million to be spent in fiscal 2023, assuming economic slowdown doesn’t intervene.

- By August, three quarterbacks – junior Zach Gibson, sophomore transfer Haynes King, and freshman Zach Pyron will be in fall camp for Georgia Tech’s football team. These three players will be up for lead – and Georgia Tech’s Coach Key shared with ACC Network’s “IN PLAY,” that competition hasn’t been a focus of his leadership in the past spring. Instead, Coach Key has focused on strategy and the team dynamic: “Number 1, fitting in the locker room and fitting in with the guys on the team that are already here. It’s a good competition right now, all three made improvements this past spring and at the same time all three have a long way to go before we are able to step out and kick off the season this year.”(Saturday Blitz)
