Peachtree Presbyterian Church is a large church located in Atlanta, GA. Peachtree averages about 3200 in weekly worship at two venues on both sides of Roswell Road in the Buckhead region of Atlanta, and is one of the largest Presbyterian congregations in the United States of America.Peachtree began as a Sunday school for children in Atlanta founded in 1910. The church itself was chartered on 3 November 1919. The original church was a gray granite building built in 1926 at the corner of Peachtree Road and Mathieson Drive. The congregation grew steadily, and moved to its present location at 3434 Roswell Road in the Buckhead area of Atlanta in May 1960, where the church campus now covers 26acre. In September 1999 the church opened a large, modern recreation center which includes two basketball courts. The Gym at Peachtree offers a range of fitness and recreational programs, which the church sees as an integral part of the ministry.By 1992 the church had the largest Presbyterian congregation in the US. The senior pastor at the time, Rev. W. Frank Harrington, grew the church from fewer than 3,000 members in 1971 to more than 11,000 at the time of his death in 1999. In 1992, Rev. Harrington was runner-up in the election for moderator of the then-2.9-million-member denomination. In 2000 Dr. Victor D. Pentz became Senior Pastor. Pentz, from Southern California, had varied experience before joining Peachtree, including a chaplaincy to the crew of three Space Shuttle launches at Cape Canaveral, running an evangelistic beach ministry to Southern California surfers and speaking at conferences around the world.Pentz and Peachtree are considered conservatives within the theological spectrum of the PC (USA); Pentz and several other leaders of evangelical PC (USA) churches have proposed setting up alternate structures for conservative congregations if a proposed amendment to the denomination's Book of Order passes permitting ordination of anyone other than practicing heterosexuals.
The purpose of Peachtree’s Music Ministry is to share the redemptive love of God expressed through his son, Jesus Christ. Whether in worship, in concert or in community, we seek to glorify God with the beauty and strength of the musical gifts He has so generously given. And we want YOU to make music with us! If you are a singer, teacher, pianist, organist, handbell ringer, guitarist, percussionist, violinist, on and on…well, Peachtree has been waiting for you! In choirs and instrumental ensembles of all ages, in unique worship opportunities, you will find a home for your musical expression of faith. Music “in the house”…. As we create music at Peachtree, we join God in His mission in the context of relationship - - a connection of sound with sound, voice to voice, voice to instrument, person to person. From the youngest child to the most seasoned choir veteran, the privilege of making music in this place gives us opportunities to offer God our energy, devotion and joy, to encourage one another, and to support this church in its work and vision for bringing Christ to the world. Music “away from home”… We greatly desire to be in relationship with the musical community outside the church. We seek to support and encourage artists, young and old, as they develop their skills, within the church, in the city of Atlanta, and around the world. The Peachtree Music Ministry hosts recitals and concerts, from elementary school choirs to college students to world-class professional musicians, throughout the year, and our Music staff and choirs join with others, in community services and special events.
