CONV CHRIS

Peachtree Church is excited to welcome John Mark Comer as a Pentz Series Speaker. To enrich our Overflow initiative, Peachtree will gift the congregation with Comer’s newest book Practicing the Way. The book focuses on how the first followers of Jesus developed a Rule of Life, or habits and practices based on the life of Jesus himself. As they learned to live like their teacher, they became people who made space for God to do his most transformative work in their lives.


END OF Y E AR GIVING The end of the year is an incredibly important time at Peachtree Church. Through your generous gifts, 25+% of our annual giving is received during the month of December. As we are 12% behind on giving for 2023, your support is crucial in helping us bridge the funding gap, enabling Peachtree to continue to serve in mighty ways.

GIVE ONLINE Online giving is fast and convenient. You can schedule your offerings on any day of the month through your bank, debit card, or credit card.

OVERFLOW PR ACTICES

In 2022, our church read through the Bible together during Quest. In 2023, we spent the year diving deep into the books of Matthew and Romans. In 2024, we will strive to become more like Jesus by rediscovering the ancient practices of prayer, study, sabbath, celebration, and many more. Our knowledge of scripture, coupled with studying how Jesus lived his life while on earth, will help us become people who Overflow with the goodness of God.
