overview
God is love. Three simple words. One powerful, world-changing statement. God is love. God’s love sent Jesus to the world—bringing hope, healing and reconciliation. Now, that same love sends us out to live—Love Forward—in Metro Atlanta, throughout North America, and around the world. Watch this Film to get an overview of the Love Forward Initiative.
Gather
In these films, Rocio and Enrique Ponce share their heart for creating space for people to gather.
The Love Forward Initiative will help us create a space that tells the Love First Story. This means creating a new front door and welcome/lobby space that shares our values from the time someone pulls onto campus until they stick around to connect with someone after worship.
Grow

LOVE FORWARD will help us create a safe, secure, and innovative environment where our children can grow in their relationship with God and each other.
creating mission-critical environments for ministries to thrive.

Simply put, Our world needs more love first Churches
As Christians, we are called to pair the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. In the Great Commission, Jesus calls us to go into all the world to make disciples. In the Great Commandment, we are commanded to love God and love one another. We are committed to doing both of these things.
The Love Forward Initiative will accelerate the Love First vision—investing in our mission to Go! To plant churches in Metro Atlanta, throughout North America, and partner with God’s mission around the world.
