Gentle Spirit Christian Church is an independent, affirming and progressive church serving metro Atlanta. We are open, positive and inclusive. We meet as The Church Without Walls on Sundays at 10:30am in Candler Park, first picnic pavilion. Founded in 1998, our core belief is that God has a passionate desire for a direct, unfettered relationship with each of us — and that no one or nothing should be able to get in the way of that.

More Than a Command

Abiding in Love
Fifth Sunday of Easter | Sermon: Rev. Paul M. Turner, Senior Pastor | Reading: John 15:1-8

Free To Forgive
Second Sunday of Easter | Sermon: Rev. Paul M. Turner, Senior Pastor | Reading: John 20:19-31

Consequences of Fear
Twenty-Fifth Sunday after Pentecost | Sermon: Rev. Paul M. Turner, Senior Pastor | Reading: Matthew 25:14-30
The master was furious. "That’s a terrible way to live! It’s criminal to live cautiously like that! If you knew I was after the best, why did you do less than the least? The least you could have done would have been to invest the sum with the bankers, where at least I would have gotten a little interest." (Verses 26-27)
