God influences the world through his people, and his activity makes our lives incredibly significant – even when the things he has tasked us with doing appear to be very ordinary.

No matter who you are, no matter who you are, no matter who you are! You have a TON to contribute to this church. Because you are a redeemed child of God with a unique combination of skills, interests, abilities, and personality that no one else in the whole world has. I can’t wait to see how God uses you as we work together to share Jesus with Atlanta.

Without Jesus, a church is just a gathering of people who like to hang out on Sundays. Maybe go out for brunch, take a selfie, and feel like you got your spiritual fix for the weekend. But with Jesus, a church is something completely different. It’s a group of starving people, rejoicing that they have found bread. It’s a group of terminally ill people, rejoicing that their disease has been cured. It’s a group of sinners, learning that they have been forgiven

By the grace of God we look at the diversity within our community and we don’t see it as something we hate. . . we don’t see it as something we struggle with. . . rather, we see it as a tremendous blessing. Diversity among God’s people is a little taste of heaven.
