2024 Year in Review
A year of transformation
Buckhead Church Family,
When I think back on 2024, I’m reminded of the transformation that took place in our ministry areas and, more importantly, in the lives of so many individuals within our church community. We continued to experience incredible growth in engagement by both Millennials and Gen Z attendees, which gets me excited about the future of our church!
We have compiled an annual report to show the impact you have made as a partner in the mission and vision of Buckhead Church. Each number represents an individual whose life was positively impacted, and in some cases transformed, because of your generosity, your service, your participation, and your prayers.
Thank you for truly being the church where you live, work, and play. You are Buckhead Church.

Baptism
“I grew up in a religious home; I always knew God existed, but went to church out of obligation. I spent my childhood following the ‘rules.’ Many years later, as a grown woman, I heard for the first time that God was kind and Jesus died because he loves me. I joined a Community Group, started studying the Bible, and now I want to know more! I’m trying to be, as Andy says, a ‘Jesus follower’ rather than a ‘Christian.’ I [got baptized] because it is my grown-up decision to live my life following Jesus.”
Opal
207 adults and 78 children and students went public with their faith through baptism.
What does a mission-focused, outward-facing, faith-shaping, generation-building, and difference-making church look like? It looks like you!

“Before I knew Jesus, I was blind, but now I see.”
– Payton
Payton was one of 94 students baptized at TLR, our Buckhead Church college ministry, on October 14. Payton is legally blind and understands the importance of choosing to walk with the Lord, as opposed to living for a world of sin.
“This baptism is more than a public declaration of my love for Jesus. This marks the most important moment in my life! I chose TLR to perform my baptism because I want the whole world to know that I CHOOSE CHRIST!”
