Welcome Home
United Church Grand Opening
Sunday, January 17 | 9am & 10:30am
Join United Church on January 17, 2027 as we celebrate the grand opening of our newly renovated church home in Atlanta. Plan your visit and experience a place where you belong.
A Personal Welcome From the Crumps
Before you ever walk through our doors, we want you to hear this from us. Pastor Léonce and Breanna invite you to come see what God is building at United.
Maybe it’s been years since you’ve been to church. Maybe you’ve never been. Either way, there’s room for you here, and you won’t be a stranger. January 17, we open the doors to our new home, and we’d love for you to be there.
Not a Ribbon Cutting. A New Beginning.
““You are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God...””
On Sunday, January 17, MLK weekend, we’re opening the doors to our new church home in Atlanta. Every space, from the new entrance and atrium to the indoor and outdoor gathering areas, was designed so people can connect with Jesus and with each other. Whether you’re returning to church or exploring faith for the first time, this day is for you.
We chose this weekend on purpose. It’s when our church story began, and it’s when our nation remembers Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of a beloved community, one we’re still working to live out at United.
There’s a place for you here. Welcome home.
What To Expect
Visiting a new church can feel awkward. Where do I park? Where do I go? Will I be the only one who doesn’t know anyone? You’re not alone in wondering, and here’s what we want you to know before you come.
You won’t walk in alone.
Parking team and greeters, who will help you find your way from the moment you step into our driveway.
Music and a message for real life.
No church background needed.
Come as you are.
No dress code, no pressure.
Your kids will be safe and celebrated.
United Kids, United Students, and Haven special needs ministry.
However you’re feeling about Sunday, there’s room for you here.

Our friendly Greeter Team will be at the entrance to welcome you and help you find your way. If you’re bringing kiddos, please note that check-in for United Kids ministry opens 10 minutes before service begins.

Do I need to sign up first? We’d love to know if you’re coming. When you let us know, we’ll reach out beforehand with everything you need for your first visit, answer any questions you have, and make sure we have a seat saved for you and your family. It only takes a minute.

Our services last about 65 minutes. We’ll worship together, and then Pastor Léonce will share a powerful message that will challenge you and bring biblical truth to Life.

Not at all. We won’t ask you to stand up, introduce yourself, or share anything. At the end of the message, Pastor Léonce may invite anyone who wants to follow Jesus to raise their hand or you can simply pray in your heart. There’s no pressure either way. Come, listen, and take it at your own pace.
-
There’s a moment in our service called “giving your first and your best,” and it’s a way our church family gives back to God. If you’re visiting, please don’t feel any pressure to take part. We believe giving is something we get to do, not something we have to do, and each person decides that as they feel led. If you already tithe to another church, that’s great, and we hope you’ll keep doing it. You can read more about how we think about generosity here.

You can watch our services live on Sundays at live.united.online. We’d love to have you in person, but you’re welcome to watch first.
-
We’re a Christian church rooted in the historic Christian faith. We believe in one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus died and rose again to save us, and that the Bible is God’s Word. You don’t have to know everything or agree with everything to visit us. Questions are always welcome. Read our full beliefs.

Yes. Call or text our office at (404) 414-0589 or schedule some time to talk to a pastor. We’d be glad to answer anything on your mind.
