Our Mission   "Athens Church of God: Loving God. . . Loving Others" Our mission is taken from the words of Christ, when asked what was the first commandment of all: "Jesus answered, 'The first is, "Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." The second is this, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."  There is no other commandment greater than these.     Our Vision "We are here to bring God joy!"  We bring God joy when we gather to: Worship the Lord Reach the Lost Disciple Believers Equip for Ministry Celebrate Unity

The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure for it is occupation. — George Bernard Shaw   New Events To Save A Life, Sunday, August 15 at 6:00 pm To Save A Life is a movie for young adults and youth.
