We are a church seeking to "IMPACT THE COMMUNITY AND THE WORLD THROUGH LOVE BY EDUCATING, EQUIPPING, AND EMPOWERING GODS PEOPLE". Our prayer is that ATLANTA will reflect the reign of Jesus Christ as we, and other faithful Christians, experience his grace and follow him, leading our city to new heights of flourishing and wholeness. We invite you to participate in our mission by joining us for rever
ent and joyful worship, cultivating your spiritual life, connecting with others in community, and serving God’s kingdom both here and around the world. THE Gospel
Though evil pollutes his good creation, and divides our hearts as well, God did not give up on his design for the world. The gospel, literally ‘good news’, announces the restoration of God’s reign to the earth through His rightful King, Jesus Christ. In dying on the cross and rising from the dead, Jesus defeated the powers of sin and evil, paying the ransom for sin. God’s kingdom returns, dwelling with us, as heaven and earth are reconciled through Jesus’ blood. And, now, all authority in heaven and on earth is entrusted to Jesus, the Lord of lords and King of kings.Through this good news, God forgives our sins, ending our alienation from him, and gives us a new heart. When we profess, “Jesus Christ is Lord”, we enter a new family, the Church, where we walk with others seeking to be Christ’s ambassadors. In this community, we learn to follow Jesus on the way of the cross – the way of self-giving, sacrificial love. And, we do so, in hope, believing that the gospel is God’s means for the renewal of human life, and ultimately, all creation. THE Church
Our congregation exudes a sense of family warmth in the midst of urban loneliness and isolation. We welcome people into our church, not through big programs, but by sitting around the dinner table together. Likewise, our approach to discipleship assumes communal investment and involvement. We have found that a healthy church is inherently inefficient, because relationships are inefficient.Our church is like a small craft brewery, working with locally grown ingredients. The process is labor intensive, requiring everyone’s involvement. But, we love what we do and believe in the integrity of our product. Our approach focuses on the idea of mass production and consumption. But, we think mass production betrays something of what God calls us to be anyways, and are content with creating a community that bears a distinctive, quality fruit.
