AN INDEPENDENT, AFFIRMING AND PROGRESSIVE CONGREGATION

Gentle Spirit Christian Church is a congregation that believes in God, the Parent and Creator of all things. We believe Jesus made his divine sacrifice for all people, without exception, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or any other human-created division of the human race. We believe in the Holy Spirit, of God and from God, sent to empower, guide and comfort all of God's creation. We believe in the Holy Universal Church as an all-encompassing body of believers, dedicated to spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout the world.

Our Vision
Gentle Spirit Christian Church of Atlanta, Inc. envisions an inclusive church community committed to worshipping God freely in an atmosphere of grace, forgiveness, unconditional love and individual growth.

The Message of Gentle Spirit
"Gentle Spirit Christian Church is about people being able to have a personal relationship with God that is not defined by traditional or mainline churches. We hope in renewing that relationship people will indeed begin to live in the way that God asks us to; 'to do justice, act mercifully and walk humbly with our God.' Our community has been battered, beaten and maligned, we lay hold of Jesus' promise; 'If you are weary or heavy burden, come to me and I will give you rest.'

"We strive to be a community where all are viewed as a unique creation of God and where each of us is invested in bringing honor and glory to God. We work to uplift each other and recognize and affirm those qualities in us all that declare God's creation as good."

-- Rev. Paul M. Turner, pastor
