Rhinestones, big hair, and a whole lot of heart 💛 This Sunday we're celebrating the life and legacy of Dolly Parton, and you're invited. Join us at 5pm at the Collective for an evening that would make Dolly proud. Bring a friend, bring the energy. 🦋

A church full of Dolly music and a preacher who means every word of it.

If you know Carter Crenshaw, you know why he’s the one for this. He’s the Director of Children, Youth, & Family Ministries at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Marietta, he loves Dolly, and he loves Jesus! He’s going to bring those two things together in a way that will wreck you and put you back together before you leave the building.

This Sunday, The Collective is holding Dolly Mass: a worship service celebrating the music and legacy of a woman who gave away hundreds of millions of books, wrote songs that moved our hearts, and proved that loving God and loving everybody could be the same thing (just like Jesus said).

You don’t have to be a church person to show up. You don’t have to know every Dolly song. You just have to want to be in a room full of people who believe the world should be kinder than it is.

Starting Sept. 15th: Church around a table at a bar.

That's the vibe twice a month on Tuesday nights at Highland Tap in Atlanta. Good food, a drink if you want one, and people who actually want to know how your week went. No agenda, no performance. Just show up hungry.

Dolly Parton sang hymns before she could read. Her faith was the foundation under everything: the music, the generosity, the way she treated every person like they belonged at the table.

On September 6 at 5PM, The Collective is holding a Dolly Mass: worship, her music, communion, and a room full of people who loved her and what she stood for. Because Dolly showed us what faith looks like when it’s rooted in love instead of fear. She held her beliefs and her people with open arms, and she never asked anyone to shrink to fit.

You don’t have to be a member. You don’t have to be Christian. You just have to love Dolly and believe that grace has no dress code.

Come as you are. Preferably in sequins.

We know church has not always felt safe, so we decided to build a space that actually is.

Finding a community that actively embraces your full identity changes everything. Our LGBTQ+ StoryGroups give you a secure room to share your lived experiences and build real connections with people who get it. Each of these groups meets up twice a month on Mondays at 7:00 PM in coffee shops, restaurants, and local spots around Atlanta, John’s Creek, and Sandy Springs.

Check the calendar on our site for the next gathering near you and come exactly as you are.

Celebrating a baptism, welcoming new members, and turning three all in one afternoon is a pretty solid way to spend a weekend!

It feels so good to keep growing a fully affirming community where you can just show up exactly as you are without any pressure. If you are looking for an inclusive space with good people, we've got the place for you.

We meet for worship on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at 5pm, and we always share dinner right after.

Sanctuary happens wherever we decide to show up together, and this Sunday, we are taking it to the woods.

Trail Church is our monthly gathering to ground ourselves in nature, practice paying attention without judgment, and remember how to breathe alongside good people. We will walk an easy two miles at a conversational pace, meaning all ages, bodies, and experience levels are welcome here. Grab your comfortable shoes and meet us at Olde Rope Mill Park on the Little River Trail this Sunday (August 23) at 6:00 PM.

There is absolutely no single mold you must fit into to be loved by God. Your distinct identity brings a necessary richness to the rest of our community. When you embrace the exact things that make you come alive, you empower all of us to build a more secure and connected world.
