Northwest Atlanta is a suburban/urban, professional, diverse area. There are 800,000 unchurched people who live within 10 miles of our building so there is ample opportunity to reach lost people. You will find communities and people groups of ALL kinds, and yet most of the people are professionals (white collar). Being in a metropolitan city, there is no lack for any opportunity and kind of person to meet. Vinings Church is right off the highway, so all of the city is within driving distance. Finally, Vinings Church is a young and diverse church who targets the mainstream, unchurched person with the message of Jesus Christ. Internally, Vinings Church looks exactly like our community (diverse).
