New Eight Series
In life, there are good examples and bad examples of everything. It would be nice to learn from the bad examples so we can learn from them. Join us for a 5-week series on bad examples from the Bible, beginning Oct 19th. To complement the talks at the Eight on Sundays, join a life group for discussion and join the WhatsApp group for encouragement to read the book.
Fall Life Groups 2025
Life groups are one of many forms of worship. Growing toward the fullness of life, Jesus, requires us to grow in rows by attending Liturgical worship, while we grow in circles by surrounding ourselves with the right godly community in life groups. We have several days, times, and locations to choose from for this season. Sign up here.
Reading Challenge
In addition to the series at the Eight, ‘Bad Examples,’ and life groups, add a personal challenge of reading the Orthodox book that the series is based off of.
The book is available at the connection table or Amazon.
This Whatsapp group is to give us encouragement and weekly checkups throughout the 5-week series.

Kids @ The Eight
Kids @ The Eight is our children's ministry program. It’s every Sunday at 11:30am from toddlers through high school
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.
Become the Light
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.
