Sunday, July 5
Freedom Sunday
For 250 years, America has stood as a nation shaped by liberty, sacrifice, courage, and the providence of God. As Americans, we’re grateful for the freedoms that allow us to worship, gather, speak truth, and live out our faith. As Christians, we celebrate an even greater freedom: the eternal freedom found only in Jesus Christ.
This July 5, join us at First Baptist Atlanta for Freedom Sunday as we honor God, celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday, and remember the freedom that cannot be taken away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do my kids go?
We have age-specific classes for kids and students of all ages. Follow the signs to the East Hallway when you arrive and our team will help you get everyone checked into the right class.
What should I wear?
We invite you to come as you are and dress for church. We are a multi-generational church, so on any given Sunday, you’re guaranteed to find folks dressed just like you. On Freedom Sunday, we encourage you to wear patriotic colors.
What if my baby starts crying during service?
We love children here, and we understand how hard it can be to sit in service and care for little ones. To make sure you and your family are comfortable, we’ve prepared a Family Worship area just down the stairs outside the Worship Center. We livestream the service in this area and have plenty of tables and chairs for families to sit together, color, and eat snacks while still enjoying the service.
What if my kids need me during service?
In the unlikely event your child or our staff need your assistance during service, our team will contact you via text.
Can I watch the service online?
Yes, we stream our services live each and every Sunday.
What are services like?
Our church service is a welcoming and uplifting experience. We begin with inspiring worship music, featuring a mix of contemporary songs and classic hymns led by our talented choir and worship team. This is followed by a practical and thoroughly biblical message that is designed to encourage and challenge us in our daily lives. Services typically last around 75 minutes and include time for prayer, reflection, and worship.
How can I become a member?
We’re thrilled that you would ask! Your next step is to join us in First Class, led by Dr. Anthony George and our pastors, to learn more about who we are and what we believe in a relaxed, interactive setting. After the class, you’ll have the opportunity to officially be received into membership at First Baptist Atlanta.
