Be part of something greater. Join us for Sunday services, YTH Nights, Ren Groups, and Celebrate Recovery. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our vibrant church family, where we grow in faith and make a difference together.
A Heart for the City, In the Heart of the City
Located in downtown Decatur, we believe God is where the people are. Being in the heart of the city allows us to connect with individuals on their daily paths—whether they’re heading to work, grabbing coffee, shopping, or seeking a place to rest. We know God sees and knows each person’s story, and we are here to greet and partner with Jesus in changing lives, one person at a time.
Why Renaissance Exists
Having experienced the transforming power of Jesus Christ in our own lives, the Renaissance community strives to create an environment where both the "un-churched" and "de-churched" feel welcomed and accepted. We gather weekly to share powerful stories of courage and sacrifice, knowing that these stories can change lives—ours and others’.
We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
We value the power and authority of the Living Word of God and the life-changing effects it has. Therefore, our community has been founded on the principles discovered within the Bible.
