The church began when 19 Presbyterians worshiped together in what is now Woodruff Park. As of June 2017, the church is located at the corner of Peachtree Street and 16th Street and has a congregation of approximately 2000 members. The congregation and its ministries are coordinated by various committees and councils including a board of trustees.
