We exist to be a whole church for the whole community
To see Atlanta transformed by radical revival in the soul of the person, their family, and our community
attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
Acts 2:46-47
Pure Hope Church
There’s a lot of churches out there. It is the kind of church that is wholeheartedly committed to the community. You will find us giving out groceries, providing housing, helping with community development. You may be wondering what Sunday is like? For us, Sunday is a celebration of what God has been doing all week in our neighborhoods. We are the kind of people that go to church to give our best to God and to receive from His word and His people. Come love with us.
