Oglethorpe Presbyterian Church

What Oglethorpe Presbyterian Church does

Oglethorpe Presbyterian Church is a 501(c)(3)-style religious nonprofit and member congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA), founded in 1959 and operating from a single campus at 3016 Lanier Dr., NE in Brookhaven, Georgia. The church delivers weekly Sunday worship at 11:00am in the Chapel, supported by a music ministry (chancel choir and handbell choir led by Director of Music Nicholas Johns-Cooper), a Christian education program (Pre-K through adult Sunday School using Spark Lectionary and Feasting on the Word curricula), and a Deacon-led pastoral care network providing meals, rides, cards, visits, and home communion. Pastor Leigh Campbell-Taylor has led the congregation since February 2023, supported by an Office Manager and an elected Session and Board of Deacons.

The organization's product surface extends beyond worship to include the affiliated Oglethorpe Presbyterian Preschool & Kindergarten (OPP&K), a long-running on-campus early childhood education program, and a facilities rental operation that monetizes the chapel, sanctuary, meeting rooms, and parking lot for weddings, community groups, businesses, and film crews. Technology infrastructure is light and conventional: a Vanco-powered online giving portal, Facebook Live streaming of services, a YouTube channel for on-demand worship content, Google Forms for volunteer coordination, and a weekly email newsletter — with no proprietary platforms, AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or mobile applications in evidence.

Revenue is generated through four channels: (1) voluntary tithes and offerings from congregants via Sunday services, mail, or the online portal; (2) preschool tuition and Annual Fund donations tied to OPP&K; (3) facilities rental income; and (4) planned giving and endowment contributions. The organization distributes its services through in-person worship, online streaming (global reach), and direct engagement with the Brookhaven community, supported by partnerships with the Suthers Center for Christian Outreach, Mercy Community Church, the American Red Cross, and Atlanta Ministry with International Students. No revenue, budget, or membership figures are disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• North Point Community Church: A large, multi-site evangelical congregation in metro Atlanta. Represents the dominant alternative worship model in the region, with overlapping target audience (Atlanta-area families seeking community) but a very different theological and programmatic approach.
• Presbyterian Church (USA): The national denomination of which OPC is a member congregation. Sets governance (Book of Order), theology, and provides shared resources; serves as the broad incumbent that defines OPC's denominational identity and boundaries.

Direct peers

• Peachtree Presbyterian Church: A larger PC(USA) congregation in Atlanta/Brookhaven. Same denomination, geographically proximate, serving a similar affluent suburban demographic with comparable music and education programming.
• Rock Spring Presbyterian Church: PC(USA) congregation in Atlanta. Same denomination and a prior employer of OPC's Director of Music, suggesting comparable music-program quality and ministry footprint.
• Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church: A PC(USA) congregation in the Atlanta area (Sandy Springs). Same denomination, similar suburban Atlanta context, and is the prior employer of OPC's Director of Music, indicating overlapping ministry culture and comparable size profile.
• Roswell Presbyterian Church: PC(USA) congregation in the north Atlanta suburbs. Same denomination, comparable size profile and ministry mix (worship, Christian education, music, community outreach).

Regional players

• The Cathedral of Christ the King: Anglican congregation in Atlanta with a comparable liturgical, music-forward, family-oriented offering in the same Brookhaven/Atlanta market. Comparable in cultural positioning but denominationally distinct.
• Mercy Community Church: A metro Atlanta ministry that OPC actively supports through prayer, resources, and volunteers. Operates in the same geographic market with an overlapping community-outreach mission, making it a partner-comparable peer.

Others
