The congregation at Word of Faith in Austell will hold two services on New Year's Eve to usher in 2017 together.

Dale Bronner's 20,000-member church plans for services at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m., with the latter slated to run until midnight.

The church streams many of its services online, or you can head to 212 Riverside Parkway.

You might even see Emma Rowland, the church's 100-year-old pastor, who has plenty of wisdom to dispense.
