Church's Mission
The only way for His disciples to make a difference in a society that urgently needs love, hope, and joy, according to the Peachtree Presbyterian Church's website, is for them to establish an active, daily connection with Jesus Christ.
The church members argued that through growing in knowledge and comprehension of their faith and demonstrating the genuineness of their beliefs in service to one other and the world, they became partners with God in His vast restoration work.
People must join Christ in the restoration of all things every day, according to the Peachtree Presbyterian.
The church also stated that God's love causes individuals to put aside their differences.
People experienced the fullness of God, according to the church, when they stepped out of their comfort zones, took risks, and challenged themselves to know and value one another.
God's love is warm and firm at the same time, welcoming and confronting.
According to the church, people attempt to balance these two facets 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.
