Peachtree Road United Methodist Church

My home church since I went through Confirmation and officially became a member at 13.
Years of services, MYF (Sundays, «Methodist Youth Fellowship» — from which I still have friends today), lock-​ins, and more.
Our beloved long-​time head minister, Don Harp, finally retired a few years ago– his first year was the year I was confirmed and he has been an enormous part of not only the growth and evolution of PRUMC since his tenure began, but a close friend of our family and champion in my life — which was quite sad for me. From confirmation to pre-​marital counseling, to my divorce and still to this day a part of my life — he is the kind of minister anyone would be lucky to have. His legacy does live on with the new head minister, Bill Britt, and the entire staff.
If you are looking for a welcoming, hospitable and traditional Methodist (or, really, any Protestant church experience) place of worship, you should visit Peachtree Rd. As they say «The water’s fine, come on it.» A classic, welcoming place with a lot of young adult and young families as members, as well as a continuing strong contingent of older members from their 50s and well beyond (if you’ve been over the years, you remember the fabulous, never married twin sisters who used to come dressed alike every single Sunday! Precious ladies.).
If you are ever invited to a wedding, go — I was married in the tremendous new chapel in its first year 2002 — they kept the former sanctuary as well and also perform weddings, baptisms and the like there still.
While I do lean towards the more «modern» Buckhead Church more often in recent years, PRUMC is where my membership and heart lie first; the midnight Christmas service (mainly focused on glorious music thanks to the long-​time legacy of Scott Atcheson and staff) and the always-​inspiring Fourth of July services will always be my first choice of where to go.
I really can’t say enough about this wonderful place of worship.

They will push you out and lock you out before your function is over! More than once I have been pushed out before my function was over. this last time my belongings got locked inside. I am so glad I’m not a member of this «church». They are not real Christians they’re just worried about the dollar! Nauseating!

This review is not for the church itself, I have never been to any of the worship services. I just wanted to give the church recognition for opening up their sports and recreation area (gym) for my BF’s basketball league. The gym is always clean, the lights are on point and they even have a small area for spectators to view the game, this has not been a consistent thing with other gyms that I have been in. I love that I can park the car and not worry about it being towed.

I did a lot of church shopping when I moved to Atlanta a little over two years ago. I was raised mostly Catholic, with brief stints of Methodism, and attended a Presbyterian Church religiously (ha!) during college, so denomination was not really important to me. What was important was finding a community of faith that I felt like I could grow in, that offered a traditional worship experience without losing young people. After some trial and error in my church search, I found what I was looking for in PRUMC about a year ago.
While I haven’t joined yet, I am very active in several of the ministries of the church. One of the best introductions to the church was the Young Professionals Sunday School Class. The Young Professionals (10am every week in Building C) are a great group of 20something to early 30somethings that have really inspired me to grow more deeply in my faith. If you’re looking for a church group that offers social activities too, well, we’ve got you covered, as we do a community service project (Habitat, Soup Kitchens, etc) or get together for a happy hour, movie outing, or sports game just about every week. All of these are open to all, and I didn’t feel awkward going by myself to either Sunday School or social or community events before I knew everyone.
If you’re interested in trying out PRUMC and need someone to sit with or show you around, send me a message –I would be happy to save you a seat on Sunday!

I started going to PRUMC a month ago and have really enjoyed their Sunday services! Luckily, for those of us that find it hard to get up early on the weekends, the Sunday service starts at 11:15am :-)
PRUMC offers something for everyone ~ Young Professionals Sunday School, Single Women’s Bible Study, Volunteer opportunities, Mission Trips, etc.

Want a great traditional Methodist worship service in the Buckhead area? This place is it! The sanctuary and music are spectacular. Even when I had crazy Saturday nights in ATL I made it a point to get there on Sundays. (ok so I missed once or twice but that was only in the most extreme of cases)
Also I was somewhat involved in a Sunday school class, which was great because it gave me a much more personal connection to the place. Everyone there is very friendly!
Service starts at 11ish and while some people are dressed to the nines, anyone should be fine wearing slacks and a button down shirt.
