A North Fulton County megachurch plans to announce details for another campus, including a new church building,  in fast-growing Gwinnett County.

Officials with Alpharetta-based North Point Ministries will host a webcast Tuesday night to discuss plans for Gwinnett Church.

North Point, one of the nation's largest Christian organizations, has members who meet at several campuses in Alpharetta, Cumming and Canton and in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood.

One of them, North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, hosted First Lady Michelle Obama during her visit to metro Atlanta in February.

North Point Ministries is led by Andy Stanley, the son of Charles F. Stanley, who is the senior pastor at First Baptist Church Atlanta.

Church officials say the new Gwinnett Church's lead pastor is Jeff Henderson.

Founded in November 1995, North Point Ministries has a total weekly attendance of 30,000 as well as an online audience.
