 Community Fellowships – bringing salt and light to Atlanta's urban communities. Growing from home fellowships to neighborhood-based ministry, the mission of Community Fellowships is to reconnect the church to the neighborhood in visible, practical and transformative ways. Avoiding much of the institutional trappings, CF seeks to live out the values of God's Kingdom with and among its neighbors.
Mission Statement
Community Fellowships exists to connect faith and action by establishing relationships, programs and opportunities that create an environment for mutual education, leadership development, and community responsibility.
Programs
- After-school program – The Community Fellowships After-School Enrichment Program provides individual tutoring, creative play, recreation, music, art and dance lessons for elementary aged children in the South Atlanta community. The four-day a week program is designed to be a support for the student, parent, teacher and community and their overall success.
