Cedar Grove Church Of Christ

9100 Clark Road
770-964-1744

Mission:
The mission of the Cedar Grove church is to help people to see Jesus.

Just as people of his own day were excited to see Jesus in person, we want to create enthusiasm to see Jesus through his body, the church. We believe that if people fully see Jesus there will be the realization that he truly meets all the needs of life.

Helping people see Jesus takes many shapes and it is carried out in many ways.
- To worship, obey, love and glorify God above all things.
- To seek and teach the lost to love and obey Jesus Christ our Savior.
- To lovingly minister to the needs of our community, our members and the world through our missionary efforts.
- To teach the New Testament gospel to everyone with whom we come in contact.
- To love God and our neighbors as ourselves.
- To provide a home for saved sinners through the blood of Jesus and the grace of the Father.
- To provide a safe place for support and fellowship of fellow disciples.
- To help one another grow into the image and nature of Jesus.

History:

In 1954 the elders of the West End Church of Christ (one of the first churches of Christ in Atlanta) became interested in establishing a congregation in the Cascade Heights area, and set aside the contributions on the fifth Sundays for a Cascade Heights Building Fund. This fund continued to grow until 1956 when the first Sunday of each month was designated as Cascade Heights Building Fund Day.

The new building was completed in May of 1958 and the congregation moved in with a record crowd of 330 on May 25, 1958.

In July 1969, a committee was appointed to look for suitable land upon which the congregation could relocate sometime in the future. On October 23, 1969 23 acres were purchased on Clark Road in South Fulton County for future use of the congregation. In March 1971 the re-zoning for church use was approved on about 10 acres of the property.Sunday morning, March 26, 1972 was designated as the last service at Cascade Heights. After March 26, 1972 the congregation would be known as the Cedar Grove Church of Christ. Until the new building could be built, the Cedar Grove Church would meet in the Cliftondale Elementary School.
