A closer look at how we aim to spread God's word both internationally and in our own community.
Our Faith in Action: Sharing the Gospel
In the book of Matthew, Jesus tells his disciples, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
We believe that God has given us a gift in Christian community and in fellowship with each other. We give praise and glory to Him for the blessings found at this church. However, He has also given us a mission: Spread the Gospel.
In addition to ministering to our church families, we make an effort to minister to our local community and to areas around the world. We do this by supporting missionaries, performing service projects throughout the year, and financially supporting those who work to spread the Word of God. Keep reading to learn more.
Here's what that looks like in action at the Peachtree City Church of Christ.

missionaries we support around the world:
The biggest way we partner with Healing Hands International is by hosting an annual "Walk4Water." Our event normally takes place in April.
During the spring, we raise funds for the event. Our walk has had as many as 500 registrants and more than 400 in person participants.
Together, we walk 4 miles in honor of the distance most people must walk in order to reach usable water. With the money raised, Healing Hands International goes all over the world and builds new wells for communities in need.
We have seen communities celebrate, plant churches and baptisms happen as a direct result of our walks. We are excited to continue this partnership and host walks for many years to come!
Partnership with Healing Hands International
We proudly work with healing hands international throughout each year.
Other Ways We Work with Healing Hands International...
The Magi project focuses on meeting physical needs of a child living in poverty through a gift box while sharing Jesus with their families and communities. This is an annual effort at our church, usually occurring in the fall of each year.
The Magi Project
We have also participated in special projects led by Healing Hands International, such as sending aid for those around the world in unexpected circumstances. Because of this partnership, we have had the opportunity to shine light and share hope with thousands of refugees. These efforts happen as needed rather than annually.

— Reagan M.
All it takes is a little bit of light to dispell the darkness. Love, no matter how small, has the potential to overcome pain and anger and trauma [...] Small experiences can have life changing effects [...] Love of any kind, no matter how small, is a light.
"Love is a light"

Atlanta inner-city ministry (aim)
All year long, our church collects donations of miscellaneous items. We then host an event, open to the community, where we give everything away for free. Attendees can find items such as furniture, decor, equipment, clothes, baby items and more! During the event, we often serve drinks and snacks. Our members always enjoy meeting members of the community, and we always make sure to give them a personal invitation to worship with us on the following Sunday. We appreciate church member Christy McCollough for all of her hard work on this project!

Mission: Atlanta
Service effort led by our youth
- Mission: Atlanta is a local service week put on by the student ministry at our church.
- Teens come together Monday - Friday from early morning to late afternoon to participate in local service projects.
- After a short break, the teens reconvene at the home of some of our church members. The members provide a meal, and the teens talk about the impact they made and the impact made on them.
- Efforts we have supported during this week include but are not limited to: i58 ministries, Bloom Our Youth, Bridging the Gap, Tools for Empowerment and miscellaneous church service projects.
here's what it looks like...

I never noticed how such small things to me can mean the world to others. I am truly blessed and this week has really encouraged me to help these and other organizations around my community.
"Serving [during Mission Atlanta] has really opened my eyes"
