Our vision is to grow people’s relationship with God, who draws us to Himself in Jesus, and with one another through worship, education, outreach, fellowship and involvement.
We embrace core Christian beliefs and traditions, and affirm the authority of Scripture and the importance of prayer, all in a multi-denominational setting.
The Chapel will always provide a compassionate and caring central focus for the Big Canoe community, and gladly share the monetary and human resources, entrusted to us by God, to reach out to people in need, both at home and around the world.
The people of Big Canoe Chapel have and continue to embrace one another without regard to differences in denominational background or bias. Setting aside those differences, as professed followers of Jesus, we focus on the many, many things that unite us. Worshipping with one another and caring for one another; we respectfully choose to serve alongside each other.
Through our personal relationship with Christ, study of the Word, and led by the Holy Spirit, each of us will seek to represent the Body of Christ and help others grow in grace. We will intentionally extend the love and reconciliation of Christ to all.
We believe God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Father is father of the whole family in heaven and earth with unlimited love, justice, and power.
God the Son, Jesus Christ, has always existed with God the Father. He entered human history by a unique birth and thus became totally human and yet completely God. He lived a sinless life, and was crucified and died. The third day after His death, He returned to life with a recognizable physical body. After further teaching of His disciples and being seen by hundreds, he ascended into heaven with a promise to return.
God the Holy Spirit moves along and within all people to convict of sin, convince of God’s truth, love and justice. The Holy Spirit witnesses to the glory and saving power of Jesus Christ and personally indwells believers to enlighten, comfort, and empower.
The Bible is God’s inspired written word given as the only infallible and authoritative standard for faith and life.
Every person was lovingly and purposefully created in the image of God bearing unique qualities and potentials. However, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God through self-will resulting in spiritual death and separation from God. Rebirth and reconciliation to God are possible through Jesus Christ, who died in our place on the cross. Every person who turns from his natural state of rebellion and self-will and receives Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is born again by the Holy Spirit to new, abundant life now and forever. All such believers are brothers and sisters in Christ and compose the Church. We are promised God’s help in growth and Christian fulfillment. We are commanded to love each other and minister to each other. As we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we discover our own gifts, special places of ministry, so that we all are a vital part of the Body of Christ, the Church.

All attempts are made to have the concert. In the event of heavy rain and if the predicted rain will stop shortly after 7pm, then the concert will likely start late. Updates regarding delays will be posted on the Terraces Facebook “The Terraces of Big Canoe Chapel” page and a recording will be available at 470-273-6767. If a concert is cancelled, additional information will be published the following day.
If you purchased a single concert ticket online, your confirmation is your ticket. If you forget or cannot print your confirmation, the ticket agents can check the printed list of purchases to find your purchase information. However, if possible, please bring your confirmation.
If you purchased a Pick 4 or Season Pass, you will receive those at the first concert you attend. Season Passes can only be used by the assigned pass holder. Pick 4 tickets can be used by anyone at any concert(s). Only individual tickets or a Season Pass can be purchased the day of the concert; Pick 4 packs are not available at the gate.
The terraced area can be used for seating, but it is stone and not comfortable for lengthy periods.

This can cause a blockage and cars trying to leave early might not be able to exit.
Handicap Parking is Available. Follow directions from the Parking Volunteers at the Event

Buy Tickets Band Information“Authentic”...When it comes to the Tribute Band world, that word seems to be used a bit more than it should be. SkynFolks was formed as a result of some very devoted musicians who wanted to bring a little more to the game than what they’d seen of Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute bands. They also knew how discriminating and tough real Skynyrd fans can be, so they set their performance bar high...really high. The members of SkynFolks are seasoned professional musicians who have played with national acts like Leon Russell, the Allman Brothers Band, KISS, Collective Soul, and many others. However, from the very beginning, every member of SkynFolks knew that this was something different from anything they’d done before.
