Bless the City

October 2-25, 2026

Loving our neighbors through consistent service, intentional relationships, and faithful disciple-making.

Bless the City Emphasis 2026

We strive to bless the city year round, but every October we take time to remember our mission and renew our commitment to love our neighbors in Atlanta.

This year, we have great opportunities to be hands-on, serving our partners and to learn from the amazing team at Neighborhood Churches.

We encourage you to do two things:

1. Take a look at the Project Serve the City  opportunities and sign up to serve

We hope these projects renew your affections for our partners and the most vulnerable in our city.

2. Register for the Bless the City Night

We have an amazing Friday evening and Saturday morning planned for you. You don’t want to miss it! 

Project Serve the City

During the emphasis, we will be serving partners across our city. These are opportunities to support them, serve together, and renew our affections for Atlanta. We encourage you to make serving a regular rhythm in your life, and this is a great place to begin, or to keep up the amazing work.

Regardless of how you serve, we hope you join us for a breakfast and devotional with Neighborhood Churches on Saturday, October 24th from 9-10AM.

Choose ONE of the many opportunities below and make plans to serve with us!

Bless the City Night

How Neighboring Well Can Bless the City

Our friends from Neighborhood Churches in New England serve in a part of the country where the witness of the gospel has grown faint. They intend to go to those forgotten places and build the church, so when they move in they are really good neighbors.

We go to Atlanta with the same goal as they do—to make disciples and build the Church.

We go to Atlanta with the same strategy—be really good neighbors. 

They will join us to encourage our mission to the city and share their best practices and ideas for how to be loving neighbors.
