The first area of focus for our Acts 1:8 strategy is the immediate area where God has placed us. We believe that we are here in Peachtree City for a reason - that God has called us to be salt and light and engage in the community around our church. Because of this belief, we are intentional in finding ways to build relationships with our neighbors, co-workers, and others who live and work here. Peachtree City is known for its beauty and affluence, but we also realize that there are many needs here both apparent and under the surface. Our goal is simple - To show God’s love and meet these needs in order to build relationships and share Jesus Christ. To meet this goal, our church and the Jerusalem Ministry Team have targeted key organizations and ministries in our community with which to partner. From ministries originating from within our own church to others that we come along side, there are many opportunities for you to serve and share on an on-going basis right here at home.
Some of the ministries that our Jerusalem Team has targeted include: |
