“The First Afrikan family will celebrate our 24th Church Anniversary on Sunday, December 11th at 10:00 am. God continues to bless our family! The anniversary theme ” Wake up, Re-member, Re-store and Re-calibrate” will allow us to honor God, our ancestors and connect with our inter-generational family. Over the past 23 years First Afrikan Church has cultivated an identity and purpose for the Black community of Metro Atlanta. First African is known as an “African centered, socially conscious and justice focused church; and for empowering men, women, youth and children to lead in the church, community and the world. We have accomplished much but our work is unfinished. The anniversary will move us in an intentional and concrete way to place our youth and young adults in the center of our experience. So, go out and tell somebody about this upcoming celebration. Please contact Elders Bria Patterson or Don Phoenix for more information.”
