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.

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.
