We’re an independent, affirming and progressive church serving metro Atlanta that is open, positive and inclusive. No one, no institution, no thing, should come between you and God. God does best work when there are no intermediaries between you and God.

Welcome to the New Week: “Count yourself blessed every time someone cuts you down or throws you out, every time someone smears or blackens your name to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and that that person is uncomfortable.
