FINALLY! After 8 mos of courting this church, my husband and I joined Eagles Nest Church. Just like I knew my husband was "the one" after our 1st date, I KNEW Eagles Nest was going to be my church home. I scoped the church for a couple of months solo and then I brought my husband for a visit. Just as I expected, he loved it! Like dating, there is no substitution for time and we wanted to court a while before we sealed the deal.
Pastor Lee's teachings are like no other and I look forward to Sunday mornings. I don't care how late I may stay awake on Saturday night, you'd better believe I'm still getting up for church Sunday. You don't want to miss the word and you want to build on the previous week's teachings.
Eagles Nest is so warm and inviting from the time you pull into the parking lot until the time you depart. Every single interaction with everyone is so genuine and you feel like "wow, people like this still exist". I love how Eagles Nest is a "teaching" church and the focus is on being the best "YOU" that you can be. The congregation is diverse and is growing by leaps and bounds after almost 6 years of existence. You won't hear any "whooping" preaching here, but you will get a "real" word. I grew up in a well known Baptist church here in Atlanta, and I have to tell you I couldn't WAIT to become an adult to find my own church home. I never got anything out the message and couldn't wait for it to be over. Now I can't WAIT for the message begin and I hate for it to come to an end. Pastor Lee is also a native ATLien, which is a rarity nowadays but I'm so proud to see my homeboy representing so well.
My husband and I both have been members for a month now and have thrown ourselves into volunteering in the ministry. My husband has always gone to church but has never felt compelled to join a church or for that matter even volunteer so that speaks volumes. Our 20-year-old college daughter loves the church as well, so much that she listens to the sermons weekly online. You already know he's a winner if he's reaching 20-year-olds who think parents are clueless.
Things you need to know:
* Located about 1.5 miles off Mansell Rd
* Come dressed as you are! No judgment zone
* 3 Church Services: 8:30a, 10:15a, & 12pm (we've grown tremendously)
* Bring your own coffee in a spill proof mug or arrive early and have free coffee at the Nest Cafe. Free doughnuts are served after each service.
* Just come and feel the love in an uplifting setting, listen to great a mix of contemporary and traditional gospel music, and put on your seat belt for an awesome word!
* Pastor Lee tackles subjects that most clergies are afraid to discuss, but NEED to discuss. If you live in the North Atlanta area, come on over for a visit and I promise you won't be disappointed. Even if you don't live in N. Atlanta, we welcome all. It's worth the commute.
