Dear Peachtree Friends,

Due to the ongoing road construction around Peachtree Christian Church, we want to help make your arrival and departure as smooth as possible.

• Entrance: The best working entrance is from Spring Street (see map).

• Exit: The best working exit is onto Peachtree Street.

Please use these routes when coming and going from church until construction is complete. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this temporary change together.

Grace and peace,
Alan Barnes (Communications Director)
Peachtree Christian Church

For this six-week series, we will examine the development of some of the church’s foundational doctrines. We will explore pertinent Biblical passages along with important theological debates of the early church.
 
You will need a modern translation of the Bible along with the study guide.
 
Our study will also use the Kerygma study guide called, The Bible and Theology, Book One (Themes 1 and 2, Who is Jesus? Who is God?) As the names implies, it is the first in a series of study guides. Be sure to get Book One. It is available from the publisher: https://kerygma.com/products/bible-theology-one?_pos=2&_sid=daa86eece&_ss=r
 
You may also want a copy of Turning Points in Theology by Donald McKim upon which our study guide is based (abbr. TPT). It is widely available on-line, including from Kerygma.

Please, order your own copy (or copies). If cost is prohibitive, contact me or Rev. Brooks Gignilliat. The church does offer scholarships.  Contact, Mary-Elizabeth with questions about which study guide to buy.
 
For each topic, we will spend the first week learning about the witness of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, the second week about the witness of the New Testament, and the third week about the witness of the church through the ages, including that of some of history’s greatest theologians.
 
November 2-11 The Trinity: Who is God? (TPT pp. 4-21)
    November 2 The witness of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament
    November 9 The witness of New Testament
    November 16 The witness of the church

Join us as we explore the Biblical, theological, and compositional underpinnings of this magnum opus.

Join us on December 4 for a heartfelt discussion of The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes by Ruth Hogan.

We’d love for you to come help serve Mondays at 8am. Ready to eat at 9!

Fellowship is the perfect name for this class, where members gather in a warm, welcoming space to learn, connect, and share in the abundant grace and blessings of God. It’s a place where relationships are built, both through the class and throughout church-wide activities, offering countless opportunities to grow together in faith. 

The class focuses on helping older adults deepen their understanding of the Bible, its relevance and importance to living our Christian faith. Our lessons explore essential themes like faith, joy, love, forgiveness, and the essence of living as a community of believers. Each Sunday, a rotating team of teachers brings new perspectives, blending historical insights with contemporary reflections, sparking thought-provoking discussions and moments of shared growth. 

Come be a part of this vibrant group of prime-time adults as we continue to grow our understanding of Jesus' teachings and what it truly means to live as a community of believers.

Our Youth Sunday School class for middle and high school students (6th-12th grade) is designed to help teens connect with Scripture in a real and meaningful way.

In this 45-minute session, we'll explore how God’s Word speaks directly to the challenges and decisions teens face every day—whether it's friendships, identity, faith, or purpose.

Through engaging teaching and thoughtful discussion, students will not only dive deeper into understanding the character of God, but also strengthen their theology and build a foundation for navigating life with faith and wisdom.

This class is a place to learn, ask questions, and grow together in a supportive, vibrant community.

Teachers: Rev. Katie Bond & Jeff Bond
