HURRICANE RELIEF EFFORT UPDATE

North Atlanta has been blessed to support Unity in Disasters through our annual One Heart special contribution for many years.

Thanks to your generosity following Hurricanes Helene and Milton last year, Unity in Disasters was able to provide more than 10,000 hot meals in Tampa, supply hygiene kits to 75 families, and assist over 100 additional families with home repairs and other housing needs across late 2024 and early 2025.

GATHER AND GROW

Join us this Sunday as we continue our Gather and Grow series.

What does it mean to be part of a local church? Jesus said, “On this rock I will build my church.” He is still building his church, and we are also engaged in its construction. 

In Jesus’ vision, the church is a classroom filled with students, and it is always both the student and the teacher. The church is full of people in need of transformation, and the Holy Spirit lives within it – constantly transforming us into the people we were meant to be. 

As we gather, we come to be part of the transformation of others, and we are prepared to be transformed as well.
