In the north corner of the west lobby of Chestnut Mountain Church in Flowery Branch is an unexpected sight: a small heated swimming pool. For people who may not have grown up attending a church, the sight may leave them to question why a pool is inside a place of worship, Chestnut Mountain Church senior pastor Jeff Benefield said. But for his congregation and most Christians, the pool is a significant symbol to the faith.
