HONOR THE PAST. INVEST IN THE FUTURE.

Richard Kannwischer

Why Now?

Peachtree Church has been a cornerstone of the Atlanta community for generations, providing a warm and welcoming space for worship, community, and spiritual growth.

As we look to reach future generations, now is the time to prepare our campus for a new century of ministry. Otherwise, we risk these beloved buildings becoming a hindrance to fulfilling our mission as a church, shortchanging opportunities for ministry and growth. The vibrancy of Peachtree Church needs to be reflected in:

Refreshed spaces that welcome families, Compelling environments that engage children and students, Flexible spaces for fellowship and adult education, New, welcoming green space to host community celebrations, And a beautifully enhanced sanctuary for Peachtree Church to gather in worship for decades to come.

Events

We look forward to sharing more about the exciting renovations to our campus. Attend one of our Lunch and Learn events or the Spaghetti Supper for an informational presentation by Dr. Kannwischer.
