Welcome to Summer in the City worship! During the summer months we take a less formal approach to worship, and look for the spiritual lessons we can learn from fun movies and tv-shows that the whole family can enjoy together.
What changes when we learn to see every person as a bearer of God’s image? In the latter half of August, you are invited to join us for Wonder – Seeing the Extraordinary. This three-week series, inspired by the film Wonder and grounded in Genesis, Isaiah, and Romans, explores sacred worth, courage in the face of fear, and genuine love as a way of life. You do not need to have seen the film. Each week offers worship, practical tools for households and groups, and one concrete way to practice belonging in Atlanta.

This June, join Atlanta First UMC for The Gospel in Disney-Pixar’s Up – a four-week worship series inspired by the favorite family film Up and the Genesis stories of Abraham and Sarah. Together we’ll explore grief, hope, courage, calling, friendship, and the surprising ways God lifts us higher.
worship is at 10 a.m. on Sunday mornings. You are invited to join us in-person in the historic Atlanta First UMC sanctuary, or online through our Facebook Page or Our YouTube Channel.
Life rarely gives us just one emotion at a time. Joy and sorrow. Faith and doubt. Gratitude and grief. Peace and anxiety. Praise and lament. Confidence and uncertainty. We find ourselves holding it all—sometimes all at once.
The Psalms meet us right there.
This Easter season, we step into a 50-day journey from resurrection to renewal, from Easter to Pentecost, discovering how the Psalms give us language for every part of the human experience. These ancient prayers don’t ask us to choose between fear and joy—they teach us how to bring both before God honestly.
Together, as a community, we will be reading through the Psalms during the Easter season—praying them, wrestling with them, and allowing them to shape our lives. Along the way, we’ll discover how God meets us in every season of the soul: in celebration and in struggle, in confidence and in uncertainty.
Because resurrection life isn’t about pretending everything is perfect. It’s about learning to trust God in the midst of everything.
Join us as we learn to hold it all—with faith, with balance, and with courage—and discover that God is present in every word, every emotion, and every moment.

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are at the heart of the story of Easter. But the resurrection was not witnessed in isolation; it unfolded before a crowd. What might the stories of those women and men teach us today? How will they help us step into the story of Easter? Here, we can see what has been overlooked, not just in the grand moments but in the in-between: the silence, the side characters, and the questions.
Gain new insight from the crowd on the themes of devotion, opposition, freedom, courage, companionship, and alliances. By seeing the Easter story through their eyes, we may discover that the resurrection is not just a past event, but an invitation into something new, unexpected, and unlikely. Walk through this season with eyes wide open, ready to see where God is moving, even in the margins. Since the cross is not the end of the story, embrace every unlikely moment along the way.
MANIFEST! Manifesting is a spiritual and cultural phenomenon that teaches that our thoughts create our reality! Urban Dictionary explains that to manifest is to “make something happen, make something real, wish for something, and it ends up happening!” In the Bible, Proverbs 18:21 reminds us: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” Our MANIFEST! series explores how God reveals God’s self in Jesus Christ — and how we, as a beloved community, reveal Christ’s light, justice, healing, and glory in the world. From revelation to manifestation, join the journey, as we MANIFEST! Light, Belovedness, Calling, Justice, Healing, Mission, and Glory in 2026!
