“Gold Club Closed by the FBI!”

“Former Gold Club to become a Church!”

These headlines don’t tell the whole story. Drugs, prostitution, sports stars, and the Mafia all played a role in the downfall of one of America’s most popular stripper venues, Atlanta’s Gold Club, which closed in 1999.

A few years later, Christian Church Buckhead transformed the abandoned club into a vibrant and unique spiritual outreach.

From Poles to Pews provides insight into the challenges and triumphs of a visionary pastor and his flock of passionate and diverse members committed to reaching people in the heart of Atlanta’s financial district.

Step into the renovation process and see a decaying structure being revived so lives could be restored. Meet those who became part of the God’s Club story, worshiping in a sacred space redeemed from darkness into light.

Book quote

“Because Dan's publication date was looming and my personal calendar was crowded, I intended to just quickly scan the manuscript and send him a hastily written blurb. That first thought didn't work. The book wouldn't let me go. These pages tell a memorable tale of an unlikely pastor and his unlikely fellow believers who transform a most unlikely and pretty sketchy place into a welcoming and safe oasis for all the kinds of people God loves--even the most unlikely ones.”

Dr. LeRoy Lawson, retired University President, Pastor and Author of 30 Books
