Peachtree Presbyterian Church's Mission

According to the Peachtree Presbyterian Church's website, the only way for His disciples to make a difference in a world that sorely needs love, hope, and joy is for them to have an active, daily connection with Jesus Christ.

The church members argued that they become partners with God in His grand restoration endeavor, growing in knowledge and understanding of their faith and exhibiting the genuineness of their beliefs in service to each other and the world.

According to the Peachtree Presbyterian, people must join Christ every day in the restoration of all things.

The church also added that God's love causes people to leave behind the things that divide them.

As per the church, the people experienced the fullness of God when they moved out of their comfort zones, took chances, and challenged themselves to know and value one another.

God's love is both warm and firm, embracing and challenging at the same time. According to the church, people strive to balance these two aspects of God's love at all times, being reminded that they are entirely and finally loved while also being encouraged to grow more like Jesus daily.

The church claims that when God's love is wholly expressed, it transforms everything. People's perspectives of the world change as a result of it.

It also inspires people to share what they've been given with others, giving them hope for a better future. It is said that people who live out God's love are important and practical ways to make a difference.
