Christ Church of Metro Atlanta

What are services like?
Elements of Worship: The Scriptures are clear about God's desired way to be honored and praised. We sing songs, offer prayers of praise, confession, and supplication to God, read Scripture, preach expositionally, and give our offerings and tithes. Music: The music we sing at CCMA is a blend of old and new. We love the doctrinally rich hymns of the sixteenth century and we find blessing in the choruses of the twenty-first. Most of us who are comfortable with one particular style have discovered, while at CCMA, that we have come to enjoy other genres of music we had not previously encountered. We strongly prefer congregational singing, which emphasizes the gathered body singing praise to God with one voice, over performed music, which tends to spotlight the abilities of some while encouraging passivity in the rest. Sermons: Preaching at CCMA is expositional, meaning that it seeks to declare the point of a particular Biblical passage. Sermons usually last between 35-45 minutes and are filled with explanation, reflection, and application. Our sermon series alternate between the Old and New Testaments. All preaching is gospel-driven. Post Sermon: We sing a song encapsulating the theme of the sermon. A typical service is finished by 12:00pm. We encourage fellowship right after the service. An hour after the service, you might still find folks enjoying time together talking.

What is the community like?
We have a wide spectrum of ages and backgrounds. This is a multi-generational church that includes young families, senior adults, singles, and children. Sunday morning attendance is between 150 and 200 people. Dress trends toward business-casual, though you can find anything from khakis to gray suits, blue jeans to blue jean jumpers. People are friendly and hospitable.
