Summer classes (May 30-August 15) are as follows:
9:15 am
Led by Azar Kenyon and Bill Hollberg
We are engaged in a cosmic battle: a battle for hearts and minds, pitting the truth claims of God against the lies of the world, the flesh, and the devil. This Focus on the Family DVD-based study, “The Truth Project,” is designed to equip believers with a comprehensive Biblical worldview and to encourage us to live lives of congruence, so that what we do manifests what we believe. Check it out at thetruthproject.org.
11:00 am
- A Survey of the Gospel of John: Learning what Jesus Had to Say about Himself
Led by Jason Cannon
Jesus once asked his disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” How would we answer? Do we really know? To help us learn how to answer this question, let us ask Jesus to teach us. We will survey the Gospel of John, specifically the “I AM” declarations, and listen to what Jesus tells us. Come and learn. As we read in Philippians 3:8, knowing Jesus is of surpassing worth.
Reaching our World
ChristChurch is dedicated to spreading God’s name both internationally and locally. We long to see mature churches established, with well-equipped leaders among every people group.
INTERNATIONAL
We support a number of international ministries, especially biblical and reformed church planting movements. We long to see mature churches established, with well-equipped leaders among every people group. We week to accomplish this through education, encouragement, support and sending members of our own church and denomination to other countries. Apart from those we support directly, we also support our denomination’s Mission to the World.
NATIONAL
We support many initiatives that seek to bring the Gospel to our own nation. Every Christian is called to be a “light to the world” and so we see our local community as the first place for each member to begin the work to which the Lord has called us. We encourage many ministries that seek to share the love of Christ with those around them. Apart from those we support directly, we also support our denomination’s Mission to North America.
COLLEGIATE
ChristChurch is situated in the heart of the city and is surrounded by educational institutions. We are very committed to college ministries having a long-standing partnership between us and local Campus Crusade for Christ leadership. We also support RUF, and Intervarsity and we have leaders from all these and other student organizations worshipping with us.
Mercy
We are committed to serving the Lord in every area of life. What we call “mercy ministries” are many and varied acts of service and caring with which we are involved both inside and outside the church. The Bible reminds us so often to look after the needs of others:
“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, and the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” James 1:27
The deacons oversee Mercy Ministries. They administer the funds, and they oversee and assist with special needs. We give time, financial aid and other resources to many different ministry opportunities.
College Ministries
Christchurch warmly welcomes you and all college students. One of our great desires as a congregation is to help you feel “at home” with us, even if you are only here during term times. Atlanta is home to over a quarter of a million students and a wonderful city in which to study. If you are new to the city and want friendship and a place to “belong” we would love to meet you. In a normal year we see students (under-graduate, graduate and post-graduates) from many different backgrounds and nationalities studying many different subjects all finding a church home with us.
OUR MISSION
To see University students become Christ-centered laborers.
OUR HEART
Many of our church’s members and leaders experienced profound life change during their defining college years and we know that Atlanta’s college students today will become the country’s leaders tomorrow. That’s why ChristChurch partners with Campus Crusade for Christ, Reformed University Fellowship, and InterVarsity leaders in offering students in Atlanta great opportunities to see what it means to follow Jesus Christ while they are in college.
LEARNING AND QUESTIONING
If you are wanting to learn more about the Christian faith, then our college leaders are on hand to help. If you are struggling with how to be a Christian in what is, at times, an antagonistic environment, they can help and point you to others in your college or dorm At ChristChurch we deliberately foster a ‘questioning environment’. For Christians and non-Christians alike, this is a safe place in which to ask faith related questions without being ‘put down’. If you are wanting to be stretched in your faith then Sunday School classes and other occasional courses are available.
DIVERSITY
Many students worship with us at ChristChurch each year. The diversity among those who come is exciting and encouraging for us all.
- Students join us from Atlanta, from Georgia, and from around the United States, but also from several countries around the world.
- Some students are undergraduates and some are involved in postgraduate research of world importance.
- Some worship in a Presbyterian church “back home” and others worship in a variety of different denominations.
- Many students are involved in different Christian ministries at their universities (Campus Crusade, Reformed University Fellowship, Inter-Varsity and others), but all will find a welcome home at ChristChurch for worship and fellowship.
BRINGING FRIENDS
Many college friends may never have been near a church. Here they will be assured of a welcome, so do invite others. Remember Sundays @ 7 would be a good service to which to bring friends. For those who want to go further, please come with them to one of the regular Christianity Explored course, which run for 8 weeks most terms.
Men
We want to give men at least one place in the world where they can encounter and, under grace, explore what God really intends for men to be. The men at ChristChurch get together for events throughout the year, and we invite you to be a part of this growing ministry. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Pete Jackson at 404-605-0505, or atpetej@ccpnet.org.
