About Mount Pisgah Church Church

Who We Are

Mount Pisgah is a church shaped by a simple belief: hope is found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe God meets people in real places - wilderness seasons, our neighborhoods and quiet moments of becoming. That's why we sum up who we are this way: 


Leaving wilderness for peaks,

Trading performance for purpose, 

Turning stranger into neighbor,

For the Hope of the Gospel.


Where We Are Headed

We believe hope doesn't belong inside buildings - it belongs in neighborhoods. 

We're living in the most connected time in history, and yet people feel more isolated, disconnected and unseen than ever before. Community is thinning. Trust is fragile. Too many of our neighbors are carrying life alone. 

So over the next four years, Mount Pisgah is committing to 200,000 hours of presence and building relationships over time with our actual neighbors. Our aim is simple: to take hope outside the walls of this church and into our neighborhoods - our actual neighbors in Johns Creek, Alpharetta and Roswell.

We want to rebuild neighborhoods on hope, one relationship at a time.
