City Baptist Church - Atlanta (GA)

CHUCK Chavis This is a great church. If you are looking for a church that loves God and loves people this is the church for you. The pastor is preaching directly from the word of God and not giving you his opinion. Thank you for Bible believing churches!

Charles Williams I moved to Atlanta in late 2020 and AWPC became my home. It takes time to join / make friends at any church but I am so grateful to be a part of AWPC.

Monae Gibson Today was the first day that I attended service at the faith center. I was supposed to be visiting this church along with 2 others over the course of the next 3 weeks. Well, i have to admit that after coming today in my heart, soul, and spirit, i feel like i found a new church home. I have been praying and asking God to lead me toward what i needed while i am in the process of getting my life and my family back on track. The faith center had been coming up on my timeline for about a month, and last night, i finally made a plan to go in person. From the moment i touched the parking lot, i felt welcomed, i felt genuine kindness, heartfelt assitance, and just peaceful. As i was walking in the door, i was greeted with hugs ((literally)). I advised the usher that it was my first time. She stopped what she was doing and walked my children and I to the information desk, and from there, it was just a blessing. My 9 year old wanted to go to the childrens center. He wasnt too happy when i picked him up only because he was grouped with younger kids. He wanted to be with children his age, but i think because of his height, maybe they thought he was younger. He wants to go back and try again. So that was good to hear. He also felt comfortable being able to wear what he wanted to. Ive always taught my children that Jesus says come as you are. In every sense of the phrase. My teenage daughter sat with me in the main sanctuary, although they had a group for teens she wanted to stay with me. I am glad she did. She was taking notes and was fully engaged. The choir was awesome, and the sermmon that was preched was truly a WORD. I will definitely be back with the rest of my family. I feel blessed to testify that i feel like I have found my church home❤️

Dani Thomas From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. A few morning snacks and coffee was offered, that was new to me.... The music coming out of the auditorium had me singing along, without even noticing until my friend asked me something and apologized for interrupting my praise. The Word was right on time as Pastor Vince delivered the messages Id sworn he glanced at the book of my life and tailored the message to me! (God knows what you need) Im definitely going back!

Fred Saunders Ive been working in the Atlanta area since mid-February; Resurrection Sunday was my first visit at Encounter. Before I got 20 feet from the front steps, I was being welcomed and loved on! Volunteers, staff and congregation all continued to love on me throughout the service! The music was uplifting, the sermon was straight from Scripture, and the Holy Spirit was in this place!! Thank you Encounter Church! When I return to Atlanta, I will be in the front row!

Crystal Anais Absolutely beautiful. Smells lightly of incense soon as u walk in which I love. It was my first time here and the people were welcoming and friendly. The architecture is so beautiful. I would come again and again.

louise webb A good place to get groceries for the poor. They are not servicing every day, however. Mostly months whenever they have away to giveout fresh food and meats.

Herb Archer By way of background, my wife and I have joined or attended churches across a variety of denominations: Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian, a Roman Catholic monastery, and, currently, a small Congregational church in rural New Hampshire. Across that sweep of years, Atlantas First Presbyterian Church has been a consistent beacon. In that sacred space, youll find the full and challenging embodiment of what it means to be a follower of Christ as articulated by the Sermon on the Mount. Youll be warmly welcomed and heard. Youll be challenged by insightful and ground-breaking messages from the pulpit. Youll be moved by the profound quality and integrity of its sacred music and arts. Youll find fulfillment and meaning through the breadth of its ministries to neighbors far and near. And youll sense the sweeping arc of justice within a place that for over half a century has been opening its hearts, doors, and leadership positions to minorities and marginalized peoples long before that was thought to be appropriate. This is the real deal.

Trin Bean 10/10 Pastor Mark Moore is a visionary and a true leader. Though I am not a member I am one in my heart. Expect a move of God, expect to see people serving with compassion, enthusiasm, love, and excellence. I love this place and the Detroit location because we all love the same God and share similar expressions in the way in which we worship him. “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in SPIRIT & TRUTH”

Albert Giovanazzi Great church with super welcoming community. Lost of young people and families. All the pastors are great speakers. They also get into the history of the scripture which, has a history buff, I appreciate. Their faith is strong!
