The Atlanta community rallied to support students in need at the 2nd Annual “Change Mart,” hosted by Change Church. Held on July 20th, 2024, the event provided a much-needed helping hand to families as they prepare for the upcoming school year. Partnering with The Change Foundation and local businesses, Change Church offered free backpacks stocked with essential school supplies and brand new sneakers to students from kindergarten through 8th grade. This generous initiative aimed to alleviate the financial strain on families and ensure all students have the resources they need to hit the ground running when school starts. By providing these essential supplies, Change Mart helped to bridge the gap and set Atlanta area students up for academic success.

This milestone reflects the church’s unwavering commitment to its dual mission: transforming individual lives through God’s grace and empowering each person to enact positive change in the world. Change Church’s mission is to help as many people as possible live, love, and lead like Jesus so they can CHANGE the world. Change Church contributes significantly to the communities it serves through various outreach programs including the annual Change Mart back to school giveaway, Change R Us, the development of a community garden, local cancer support groups, and missions and orphanages abroad.
