We welcome you with open arms here at Big Bethel, and we focus on creating a culture that is receptive, inviting, caring, and open.
What to expect during worship?
During Worship, you can expect a good balance of contemporary and traditional worship. We are not limited by the program and traditional worship. We are a spirit-driven church. Our dynamic pastor is well-prepared to minister to you and your life’s situations. At Big Bethel, you are free to worship and to express your joy and love for God as the Bible proclaims and the spirit desires.
Big Bethel is considered to be one of the vital urban churches in Atlanta. We are constantly seeking to minister to God's people in doing the work of the Lord. If you want to grow spiritually, are looking for a church home, just moved to town, are a college student, or even just visiting Atlanta, we invite you to fellowship with us.
