This season, churches across Southeast Atlanta are celebrating more than 500 years of combined faith, ministry, community, and history.

Church homecomings and anniversaries are about so much more than marking another year. They are opportunities to honor the people who built our churches, remember the stories that shaped our neighborhoods, reconnect generations, and celebrate the enduring presence of Black churches in community life. From Historic South Atlanta to Thomasville Heights and surrounding Southeast Atlanta neighborhoods, our churches carry stories of faith, resilience, sacrifice, leadership, and love for community. When we come home, we don't simply return to a building. We return to a people, a history, a faith, and a legacy. Read our latest blog post at the link in our bio on why church homecomings and anniversaries remain so important, and why remembering where we’ve come from can help us imagine where we’re going. What does your church's homecoming or anniversary mean to you? #OnTheBlog #FCSAtlanta #FCS #SoutheastAtlanta #HistoricSouthAtlanta #ThomasvilleHeights #NeighboringWell
