Neighborhood Church in Atlanta, Georgia announced a new sermon series entitled “Little By Little.”

On a Facebook post on Friday, Aug. 5, the church shared photos of its members preparing for the new series.

According to the church’s post, living the way of Christ or the Christian life involves daily small decisions and actions rather than one major choice or life-altering action.

The church said this month, every Sunday at 11 a.m., they hope they will visit and worship with the church in person or online.

Neighborhood Church said they welcome everyone in this worshiping group.

The church also thanked everyone who helped to bring the series to life this week.

Church’s Justice Work

At Neighborhood Church, it said that they consider the ongoing pursuit of justice to be a fundamental aspect of the Christian community.

Throughout the year, they spotlight various justice-related topics while working with and supporting a ton of amazing community partners that are fighting for justice in Atlanta and everywhere else, according to the church.

The church said for more on how to participate in justice work in the Neighborhood Church neighborhood, they can check back the church's website.

Anti-Racism

Since its beginning, Neighborhood Church said it has been dedicated to the task of restoration via connection to God and the local community.

The church said they have vowed to be a forgiving and just congregation, striving to be pro-LGBTQIA+ and anti-racist as human beings.

It added that they strive to live out liberationist Christianity, which is based on the unwavering love of Christ for everyone.

The church said it made the decision to start the work as anti-racists by trying to be the best members they could be while elevating the work of other more prepared, experienced, and committed community partner organizations.

Early on, they hosted Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) meetings, gathered money and supplies for Southerners on a New Ground (SONG), and later started providing free space for Southern Fried Queer Pride (SFQP), according to the church's website.

The church said they have held discussions, seminars, movie screenings, worship services, and offerings for slavery reparations.

It added that these events have always focused on the perspectives of black and brown people, particularly black and brown queer and trans voices.

Each one, regardless of race or gender, still has much to learn, develop, and do in order to eradicate racism from their thoughts, words, and emotions as well as to dismantle the institutions that uphold racist policies and practices, according to the church's website.

The church said there is much that has to be done in their own congregation as well as in the neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, housing preferences, and connections with other churches.

Every human being is made in the image of God, which means that they all possess a wide range of creative abilities, social skills, and the potential for love – not by chance but by divine design, according to the church.

It added that even beyond the human capacity to love oneself or one another, God's love extends to each and every one.
