Welcome to the New Week

Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Pride altar

Steer clear of the barking dogs, those religious busybodies, all bark and no bite. All they’re interested in is appearances — knife-happy circumcisers, I call them. The real believers are the ones the Spirit of God leads to work away at this ministry, filling the air with Christ’s praise as we do it. (Philippians 3:4-5)

You're in the right place.

We’re an independent, affirming and progressive church serving metro Atlanta that is open, positive and inclusive. Our congregation comes from many spiritual backgrounds, but we agree on the following and invite you to come worship with us and experience God’s love in a whole new way.


God loves you unconditionally: God passionately desires a direct relationship with you, just the way you are.


Your relationship with God is paramount: No one, no institution, no thing, should come between you and God.


Your faith is between you and God: God does God’s best work when there are no intermediaries between you and God.
