History
It all started in 1993
In 1993, God began to call a group of believers to plant a new church in Buckhead. This new church had a vision to be in the city, for the city, calling men and women to faith in Jesus and to seek the welfare of the city of Atlanta. Over the past thirty-two years, God has blessed this vision by growing ChristChurch Presbyterian into a gospel-centered congregation, allowing us to plant a daughter church, and providing a permanent home on Peachtree Street in the heart of the city.

Advance the Gospel
Above all else, the city of Atlanta needs the gospel of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we have been placed here to preach the good news that Jesus has come to make all things new, starting with our hearts. Because faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ (Romans 10:17), we are prayerfully searching for our next Lead Pastor, who will build upon ChristChurch’s strong legacy of Biblically-sound, gospel-centered preaching.

Advance Generational Discipleship
ChristChurch is blessed with people of all ages, but we have an especially strong number of children and teenagers. As we seek to partner with parents to make disciples of this next generation, it is important that we steward our facilities to support these thriving ministries. The Advance Campaign will help us to meet the following needs:
Demolish the 1750 Peachtree building
Build an outdoor play space for the Woodland Children’s Ministry
Update the LOFT Student Ministry space
Provide additional parking on ChristChurch’s property

Advance Into Our Next Chapter
We believe that the Lord has called us to be a vibrant, gospel-centered, and Reformed church ministering in the heart of the city of Atlanta. As we advance in faith into this next chapter, we want to prepare to meet the opportunities and challenges ahead. The Advance Campaign will help us with this by meeting the following future needs:
Create a reserve fund for future major capital expenditures
Expand the church’s operating reserves
