COMMUNITY PARTNERS

At Neighborhood Church ATL, we firmly believe in the importance of coming together with other community organizations, or what we call "community partners," to engage in the work of justice and community building in the vibrant city of Atlanta. There is great power in unity, and by combining our efforts, we can have a significantly greater impact. Collaborating with community partners allows us to pool resources, share expertise, and create a more holistic approach towards addressing the diverse needs of our city. By working in tandem, we can create an environment of transformation, healing, and progress for all residents of Atlanta, fostering a sense of belonging and collective responsibility. Together, we can build a stronger community that embraces justice, equity, and compassion, making Atlanta a truly inclusive and thriving city for everyone.
