The Church of Jesus Christ does not have a mission program. It is mission by its very nature. Its principal command is

"Go to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples (Matthew 28:19)

That is the chief purpose, the goal, the task, the objective, the only reason for the existence of the earthly church - to go into all the world with the Good News (not good views) of Jesus Christ so that others may come to personally know and accept Him as their Lord and Savior.

The Apostle Paul, the first missionary, was called by God who still calls us today in much the same manner, telling us as well to

"Get up and stand on your feet! I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant. You are to tell others what you have seen of me today and what I will show you in the future....You are to open their eyes and turn them from the darkness to the light and from the power of Satan to God, so that through their faith in me they will have their sins forgiven and receive their place among God's chosen people" (Acts 26:16,18)

Grace United Methodist Church is located in Midtown Atlanta, at the corner of Ponce de Leon Ave. and Charles Allen Drive

The primary message of the Scripture is direct and clear to those who know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior: share the Gospel - the story of God's love through Christ - with others. As the missionary journey of Paul began just where he was, so does the mission of Grace United Methodist Church - beginning on the corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue and Charles Allen Drive in Atlanta, Georgia, with mission outreach programs like....

  • Grace Academy tutoring after-school program for needy children in the area
  • Women's Kitchen ministry for homeless women and children with a noonday meal
  • Atlanta Emergency Aid outreach for those in need
  • Murphy-Harpst Home in Cedar Town for disturbed children
  • Habitat for Humanity
  • Camp Glisson camps for youth
  • Missionary Outreach in Central Asia

Do you sense God's claim on your life to be His witness where you are? Join us at Grace United Methodist Church and learn more about how and what it means to share your faith so that others may come to know Jesus Christ here and around the world as their Lord and Savior also!


Do you enjoy a casual style of worship?


If you prefer an informal worship experience, join us on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM in the Mary Hogan Fellowship Hall for our Contemporary Worship Service.” We dress casually, we sit at tables and drink coffee during the worship service, but there is nothing casual about the sincerity of our desire to praise and worship our Creator! Our Grace Church Worship Band (consisting of vocals, drums, acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitars and keyboard) leads the congregation with upbeat praise songs. The messages by Dr. Jim Howell are always Bible based with practical applications and teachings of His word for His people. Come join us for an amazing worship experience!
