As we’ve explored the overarching story of God and the world through Quest in 2022, we’ve been reminded that we can be a part of God’s ongoing restoration story today. One way we’re inviting you to do that is by making a faith commitment to the mission of Peachtree in 2023.
If you haven't already done so, you can place your Living the Quest commitment card in the offering or you can present your estimate of giving online at PeachtreeChurch.com/Give2023 or scan the QR code below.
