OUTREACH
WE ARE a community building relationships with God and each other by investing in the passions of young people, fostering involvement and being a positive influence in the local community.
As Christians we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Throughout the year we have opportunities where we can partner together to show Jesus to the local and even global community. Join us!

Each year we take part in several Christmas events for the Franklin Gateway community in Marietta.
Here is how you can help:
1) Adopt the Christmas wish list of a child
Wish lists will be available for "adoption" on Saturday, November 7 at church. Purchase Christmas gifts for your child and bring them back, unwrapped and with the list, by Saturday, December 5.
2) Bring in non-perishable food (pasta, rice, canned items, individually packaged snacks, etc.) by Saturday, December 5. You can leave these in the lobby.
3) Volunteer at one of the events. More information coming soon!

Each summer we partner with F.R.E.E., an Adventist organization that works to help refugee families get settled in the United States.
We donate money to help F.R.E.E. purchase new shoes for the school year for these children that attend Duluth Adventist Christian School and Atlanta Adventist Academy.
In 2026 we raised over $3,000!!
We look forward to seeing how we can help in 2027!

Compassion Sabbaths are Saturdays throughout the year where we intentionally do something for those in our community. From sharing baskets of goodies with first responders to praying with people in Target to handing out bubbles at a park, we want to love on our community.
Our last Compassion Sabbath was on June 20. We went to Swift Cantrell park to hand out bubbles, sidewalk chalk, gatorade and water.
Keep an eye out for the next Compassion Sabbath!

This year's Back to School Bash was on Saturday, July 18, 2026. We partnered with YELLS at their Back to School Bash on Franklin Gateway in Marietta.
We helped provide basic medical exams, gave away books, school supplies and food and helped with translating and provided general assistance at the event.
