[edit] Details
Buckhead Church is a Christian, non-denominational, Protestant, evangelical church. It is one of three current campuses of North Point Ministries along with North Point Community Church and Browns Bridge Community Church. Members and attenders are encouraged to develop intimacy with God, community with insiders, and influence with outsiders. The mission of the church is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Jeff Henderson is the campus director and leads the staff of Buckhead Church in its day-to-day operations and in discerning the ministry needs of those who attend and who live in the community.
Buckhead Church is considered an innovator in the use of technology among multi-site churches[1] [2].
[edit] History
Buckhead Church was founded in April 2001 as a biweekly meeting called Buckhead Fellowship. Andy Stanley advised the founders and was the first guest speaker. The church officially became affiliated with North Point Ministries in August 2001.
The church orginally met in the building of Buckhead Baptist Church on Sunday evenings. In 2002, the church moved to the Doubletree Hotel in Buckhead. On Easter 2003, the church moved to its current location, a building formerly occupied by a Harris Teeter grocery store.
Starting in the fall of 2006, Buckhead church opened a second temporary campus at Atlantic Station. Both campuses will move to a new building, which is currently under construction, on May 6, 2007.
