Engagement
Servant Leadership
Our Long Range Strategic Plan calls for us to equip members and friends to be servant leaders in the church and in all spheres of their lives.
We are a community of faith whose collective calling and will are being shaped continuously by the servant-leader example of Jesus Christ.
Community Ministries
Embodying Christ’s love in the community around us
We offer a number of services to individuals who are homeless, transitioning, and in need.
Care Ministry
God calls us to care for one another.
Our Care Ministry coordinates and equips pastors and lay leaders to support one another in times of grief, loss, struggle and times of discernment.
Global Mission
God has a mission, and we are all called to participate.
God has a mission, and we are all called to participate. God’s mission is everywhere, at all times, with all people. In our Global Mission ministry area of FPC, we believe that wherever we go, God is already there. When God calls us to travel to visit our Christian family around the world, God is there. When God calls our partner congregations to send people to visit us in Atlanta, God is there. When God calls us to walk alongside resettled refugees, international students, children from around the world needing surgery, and international medical professionals right here in Atlanta, God is there with us.
For more information please contact Rev. Dr. Barry Gaeddert, bgaeddert@firstpresatl.org.

Mission Market
Mission Market is an alternative giving opportunity through FPC’s Global Mission ministry and Community Ministries. We maintain long-term global partnerships with church congregations and their ministries throughout the world, as well as a long-standing ministry program to disadvantaged people in Atlanta.
