What does PCUSA new church development look like across Greater Atlanta?
NCDC’s 2025 Annual Report tells a story of new life taking root across the Presbytery: 35 new worshiping communities, leaders serving in multiple languages and cultural contexts, strategic grants strengthening emerging ministries, and a growing ecosystem of coaching, training, retreats, and support.
The 2025 report offers more than numbers. It offers a glimpse of the Spirit’s work through emerging leaders, intercultural communities, young churches, and faithful partners who are helping new life flourish where the Church is needed most.
We invite you to page through the report, celebrate what God is doing, and imagine what becomes possible when we continue this shared journey of imagination and faith.
