Members of Atlanta Pillars of Faith Church in Ellenwood, Ga., testify that their third annual Fall Festival was more than just a day of fun. It was a vibrant celebration of culture, community, health, and faith. This year’s event featured the exciting debut of their International Food Festival, which added a global flair to the festivities, and beautifully showcased the rich cultural diversity within its congregation.
Church members erected decorated tents, each offering plant-based dishes from their home countries. Guests from the community were invited to taste the unique flavors while learning about the cultures that help shape the church family. Nations represented included Asia, Greece, Kenya, Nigeria, Barbados, Dominica, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Kitts, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, the U.S Virgin Islands, and the United States.
Another highlight was the free health screenings for heart disease, diabetes, kidney function, cholesterol, and Alzheimer’s. While participants received a $45 gift card, the true gift was the church’s compassion, a powerful expression of its mission to support the whole person wellness and draw souls to Christ.
Atlanta Pillars of Faith strives to be a light in the community, a place where all feel welcomed and cared for. Events like this help build relationships and create opportunities to spread the Gospel. Members thank Renée Bishop, whose passion and leadership were instrumental to the event’s success; and Leroy Sewell, pastor, and the elders for their steadfast support and spiritual guidance.
The church envisions that this meaningful tradition will grow into a powerful tool for the spreading of the Gospel.
