What is Urban Atlanta Church Planting?
The mission of UACP (formerly UAII) is to intentionally plant healthy, reproducing congregations inside the perimeter (ITP) of Atlanta. We will achieve this mission through church planting, community transformation (evangelism that results in changed lives), and leadership development (coaching).
Church Planters Share Dreams and Needs
What are some of our church planters trying to accomplish? How might you pray and partner with them? We have five planters who each share about their work in TWO MINUTE VIDEOS. Take a few minutes to watch and pray!

Are you interested in being part of a movement to plant churches inside the perimeter (ITP) of Atlanta? There is a great need! But the challenge is great.
Beginning in the early 1970’s, church members moved into the suburbs, and many churches either followed, planted new churches, or slowly withered and died. Many buildings once dedicated as venues for reaching people and nurturing believers have been closed, sold, or are in serious disrepair.
In the past few years, though, the population inside the perimeter has begun a renewal of growth. It is estimated that over 850,000 people now live inside the perimeter—more than ever—yet there are fewer churches than in the 1960’s.
How will we reach the people with the gospel of Jesus? How will we re-church the city of Atlanta? What will that “look like” in this new urban setting? Who will be the workers? How will they be supported?
Urban Atlanta Church Planting wants to help find the answers to some of these questions, and we want to partner with others to see churches planted within the perimeter of Atlanta.
