Growth and Expansion

Metro Atlanta Collective is a growing network of planters, pastors, and leaders who serve churches with beliefs consistent with the Apostles' and Nicene creeds and committed to the five "solas" of the reformation (Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, the glory of God alone, and the Scriptures alone). Though historically rooted in the PCA, we are a network of various traditions rooted around these reformational commitments. Our purpose is to serve a larger ecosystem of gospel-centered ministry in Atlanta by helping to plant, strengthen, and renew many churches throughout our city-region.

Contextual Diversity

Because our city is so diverse and growing faster than many North American global cities of a similar size, we want to encourage a wide range of Biblically sound, gospel-centered, evangelical churches and ministries, appropriate for the diverse cultures of Atlanta.

In such a fast-paced and ever-changing global city, we like to operate with the freedom and flexibility to adapt to differing challenges and opportunities that arise from time to time through collaboration and friendship among church-planters, coaching, planter-specific training, and prayer.

Vision 

Our vision is to glorify God and help Atlanta flourish through a movement of gospel-centered, healthy, multiplying churches.

Values

Kingdom-minded | Gospel-centered | Leader-focused | Culturally-engaged | Prayerfully-confident |

Theologically-grounded | Contextually-adaptable
