Lenten Fast 2025

​The Lenten season is a time where the Church encourages us to be introspective and repentant as we walk toward the Resurrection of Christ. In addition to having a vegan fast, more time in prayer and reading is encouraged.

Join the Lent Bible plan as we read the liturgical readings each day throughout the fast.

Join the plan here via the Bible app.

Lent Life Group 2025

All of us want things to change right now, but so many many times it doesn't happen. Join us for a 5-week series on Sundays at the Eight and in life group discussions on how to manage waiting, especially when 'momentarily' feels like eternity and hopelessness begins to kick in.

COME AS YOU ARE

People who were nothing like Jesus gravitated towards Him, and what is true of Christ should be true of us. Regardless of your background or past, your Savior invites you to come and see.

 
 

Transcendent Worship

Liturgical & personal worship points us to something so much bigger than ourselves. Our participation in the sacramental life is the foundation of our ancient faith and allows us to enter into a transformational life in Jesus.

The call to carry the True Light to our world applies to us just as much as it did to the early Christians. And we have been entrusted to continue to bring His Light not only to our lives but to our city of Atlanta.
