I know I'm biased, but Living Hope truly lives up to it's mission to be Bible-rooted, Spirit-empowered, and culturally-engaged. I don't think there's another church in the area that does this as completely as Living Hope does.Full disclosure: I'm a member, I teach there regularly, and I'm the street preacher a recent review referred to disparagingly. To be clear, Living Hope supports my wife and me as far as community outreach is concerned - things like homeless care, working with a local shelter, coordinating with Mercy Clinic, gifts and baby registries for single moms, teaching apologetics and other subjects at the church, etc.The downtown preaching I assist with is NOT under the umbrella of my work with Living Hope. Also, that aspect of my PERSONAL ministry (i.e., Ask a Former Atheist) is conducted with fellow public evangelists ("street preachers") from several different churches. I'm the only one who is affiliated with Living Hope.That being said, I am thankful for a pastor and elders who pray for me when I venture out with gospel preaching and believe in proclaiming a message publicly, like Jesus did, of the need to turn from sin, to place trust in Christ, and to obey him (and not to be merely a "cultural Christian"). If you read and study the New Testament, this is the same message that the apostles proclaimed.There are many opportunities at Living Hope for discipleship - learning how to follow Christ more faithfully and to know and honor God in our daily lives. That's what New Testament Christianity is all about.If anyone has specific questions about something they hear me preach downtown, I am always happy to hear from you personally, but, again, that ministry is separate from my work under the auspices of Living Hope. Blessings!

My wife and I have been attending Living Hope Church for over 6 years now and have found doctrinally sound teaching, in-depth bible studies, wonderful support in small groups and an extra special worship time. Also, lots of great opportunities to share our faith and disciple young people for Christ.

We seek to be Word-rooted, Spirit-empowered, and culturally-engaged. We desire to have unity in the essentials of the Gospel, diversity in the non-essentials, and exhibit Christ's love in all things.

I have been a member of the Church from the beginning. I had visited different churches before getting to Living Hope. When I started attending Living Hope I felt it's a home away from home. I love the people, and all in all I love serving. I love this Church

I moved to Athens 6 years ago and came to this church with my adult children. I immediately felt at home here as I felt the Holy Spirit. If you are looking for a church where you hear the Word of God preached, where you are able to worship our savior and where you find a community ready to love you, come visit us. You will be welcomed by the Holy Spirit and people who are glad you came!

Pastor David Holt was my pastor back in college, his zeal for God and His word hasn't diminished a bit. If you are looking for a wonderful shepherd and preaching about Jesus and the Gospel you have come to the right place.

Living Hope Church PREACHES THE BIBLE which is so refreshing from the many prosperity-gospel churches in Athens. This church is not perfect, but is a great place for those who are in need of the meat of the Bible instead of just milk.
