The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from then he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Stephen Ministry
Because we follow the Good Shepherd who tenderly cares for his flock, we care for the people of Peachtree and the community. Our Stephen Ministers are trained, caring Christian listeners who support others in times of deep personal need to help bring about God’s healing in some of life’s hardest situations like divorce or loss of a loved one.
