  • 📍 The Murphy Residence | 4th Sundays | 9:00 am (Once Monthly)

    You’re invited to a monthly craftivist gathering – two hours to make things, build community, and imagine how we show up for our neighbors. Each month we’ll work on a simple creative project connected to care, mutual aid, and justice, with plenty of space to talk, reflect, and be human together. No crafting expertise  required…just curiosity, kindness, and a willingness to make alongside others.

  • 📍 Location Varies | 4th Sundays | 4 or 5pm (Once Monthly)

    Led by Noël Heatherland, Trail Church is a chance to explore God through contemplative spiritual practices in the great outdoors. Once a month, we hike, wander, and wonder together—finding sacred in creation and in conversation. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just curious, come walk with us.

    For folks in their 20s trying to figure it all out. Think of it as brunch with meaning—a space to vent, laugh, and process the chaos of adulting in Atlanta.
