Founded in 1848 in the heart of downtown Atlanta, our church has been a lightfor Christ through the darkest times in our city’s history and through the mostchallenging times our nation has faced.
For 175 years, God has sustained our church as each generation, from ourfounding to the present, has acknowledged our dependence upon God and hassought to honor the truth of His Word, the Bible.
Among our membership are people from 98 countries of origin, making us one ofthe most ethnically diverse congregations in America.
We like to think that our congregation resembles the picture of heaven describedin Revelation 5:9, where God’s throne is surrounded by those whom Christ hadredeemed “out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.”
