Lent Life Group 2026

God is not dead?…but what about your faith?

If St. Paul was like a theologian in a classroom, St. James was like a pastor in your living roomβ€”looking you straight in the eye and asking, β€œOkay… but what are you actually doing with your faith?” Join us to discuss faith according to the book of St. James in a new season of Life Groups, beginning March 1st. Nine different locations and times to choose from.

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.
