In response to forecasted inclement weather and a State of Emergency issued for the state of Georgia, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church announced today that its Sunday worship service will be held virtually only this weekend to prioritize the safety of its members, visitors, and staff.

The virtual service will stream Sunday at 9:30 a.m., allowing worshippers to remain connected while avoiding potentially dangerous travel conditions as state and local officials urge residents to brace for hazardous roadways and winter weather impacts.

Senior Pastor Dr. Jamal H. Bryant shared the update directly with the congregation, emphasizing both safety and continued spiritual connection.

“Due to impending inclement weather and the State of Emergency declared for the state of Georgia, our Sunday worship service will be virtual only this Sunday at 9:30 a.m.,” said Bryant. “Please remain safe, stay warm, and stay connected.”

While Sunday’s service will move online, Bryant also extended a personal invitation for congregants to gather safely in person on Friday evening.

“I want to personally invite you to join us in person this Friday night at 7 p.m. for a powerful time of worship and the Word,” Bryant added. “Let’s come together, encourage one another, and prepare our hearts for the weekend ahead.”

In addition to the schedule update, church leadership shared inclement weather preparedness guidance with members, encouraging families to monitor local alerts, limit unnecessary travel, secure supplies, and check in on neighbors and loved ones during the storm.

Service Details:

Friday In-Person Worship: Friday at 7:00 p.m.; 6400 Woodrow Rd. in Stonecrest

Sunday Virtual Worship: Sunday at 9:30 a.m. (online only)
