Does anyone know of a Apostolic Church in ATLANTA?
 

I just moved from Houston TX to Atlanta Ga and I am looking for a church. I live pretty close to Downtown and do not want to travel all the way to Atlanta West Church from here due to the traffic.

Thank You.

Atlanta West UPC is pastored by a great man Darrell Johns. I have never been there but the church has a good reputation that I don't doubt based on the reputation of the pastor.

Also it is not a lib UPC church it is moderate within the UPC range so you don't have to worry about a lib recommending it!

Here is a link to the church website;

What does that mean?

Solid Rock Pentecostal Church, Pastored by Alonzo Terry. I'm not sure if it is near downtown.

Not trying to speak for Abiding Now.....but the statement probably has to do w/ where Atlanta Hope Center is located and their mission to reach Atlanta's inner-city.

I just checked the address it is less that 4 miles from me! I think I'm going to check it out....i just watched some of their service that was online and also a news story on their website from Fox News....wow!

It is located in a tough, crime-ridden area, but if I were in ATL that's where I would go.

:thumbsup Absolutely! They are a blessing to the city of Atlanta. The various ministries they have going on is unlike anything I have ever seen in a church.

Pastor Keith Hood is in the city on the North side.

I know and love Pastor Downs. Some don't like him. He believes in sharing the Gospel to everyone you come in contact with. He believes every believer must be a soul winner.

Atlanta Hope Center, IMO, is the closest thing to a book of Acts church of which I've read about and seen videos and photos. They baptize daily. I follow him on FB and almost every day there's a new photo of them baptizing someone. They love people and actively give back to the community. The weekly schedule and events is incredible. GED Classes, Kids Movie Nights, Bible Study, Parenting Classes. They offer a Food Bank and a Free Clothing Bank. IIRC, they own a thrift store attached to the church.

And from the testimonies in the video above and elsewhere, Pastor Downs and the Atlanta Hope Center have made a great and positive impression in that area.

I would love to be able to go and visit them some day.

That is a great testimony. Some will criticize some of those programs as not being directly religious but community outreach is a great way to get people comfortable with your ministry and your church so are much more likely to visit when invited. Brooklyn Tabernacle has had great success with this in offering english language classes to new immigrants.

I tip my hat to Tim.

Re: Does anyone know of a Apostolic Church in ATLA
 

POA has also had great success in its English language program. We started a free ESL program this summer, but it's been hard getting it going.

We used to do them in Houston at Life

Good luck with it. I hope it takes off. I guess a lot depends on the need in your particular community and how many other organizations are offering the same thing.

My pastor has a dream of renting space in a building on our town square and using it to offer community outreach with classes like parenting , english language, etc.

I attended Atlanta Hope Center today! WOW this is the best kept secret in Pentecost!

They come casually dressed so others won't feel intimidated to dress when they cannot afford it, they do outreach every day and every night, their whole church is filled to the walls with all brand new converts won by the pastors family.

They baptized 10 people today and they have old style music and worship, the people are so sincere and amazing.

The Pastor just started this church 3 years ago and there are hundreds of people in attendance!

Thank you everyone for suggesting this church for us!
