Message from Rev. Dr. Tony Sundermeier

Thank you for visiting our On the Way Capital Project website!

Following two years (2018-2020) of strategic planning and upon the recommendation of our Campus Master Planning Team, the Session of FPC Atlanta approved a comprehensive plan that prepares us for our third century of ministry. 

The plan has been broken up in two phases, with a Phase One launch date of August 29, 2022, following a successful capital campaign which has received commitments and gifts totaling $36 million.

Phase One includes a total renovation of The Smith Building which will increase our capacity to serve our vulnerable neighbors. Floor one and two will be dedicated to meet the needs of the 1,500 clients we serve each month. Floor three will improve the space for our ministry partners: Samaritan Counseling Center of Atlanta, Childspring International, and Johnson C. Smith Seminary. The fourth floor of the Smith building will include an overhaul of our Women’s Transformation Center, turning dorm-style accommodations into nine micro-apartments that house women in transition, rent free, for up to twelve months. Phase One also includes the construction of a centralized gathering area (the Commons) with hospitable, direct, weekly access from Peachtree Street, as well as the construction of a new, state-of-the-art worship/performance/lecture space for both internal and external use.

Renovation and construction for Phase One is the culmination of four years of planning, prayer, discernment, patience through Covid, and extraordinary generosity that paves the way for a deeper faithfulness from the corner of 16th and Peachtree that extends to Atlanta and throughout the world.
