First Time Visitor?

Welcome to
John Knox!

We are so happy that you have stopped by to see how God is moving us in this corner of East Cobb. This page should answer most first time visitor questions, but if we missed one, please email us!

The Best Kept Secret in Our Corner of East Cobb

John Knox Presbyterian Church (JKPC) has been serving this area of Cobb County for over 60 years. As the neighborhood has changed, we have welcomed the opportunity to find new ways to serve and be part of the community.

If you come by 505 Powers Ferry Road on any weekday, there is something going on either with our Preschool or our after-school program, C.A.S.A.; or in the evenings and weekends when the many groups that call our campus home meet; or on Sunday mornings when both the JKPC and our partners-in-faith, the Brazilian Christian Church (BCC) meet for worship.

JKPC gives its members and guests every opportunity to serve and worship as much as they desire. Everyone can choose where, when and how much they give of their time and talents. We hope that you will find JKPC warm and welcoming and want to call us your church home.

What can you expect on Sunday mornings?

Sunday Worship

We meet at 11 AM year-round in our Sanctuary. Visitor and Handicap Parking are available right by our main doors. Ramp access will take you through our courtyard into the Sanctuary.

Communion Sunday

We serve communion on the first Sunday of every month. Our practice is to receive the eucharist by intinction, coming forward to receive bread and dip it into the cup of grape juice

Adult Sunday School

This dedicated group meets at 10 AM every Sunday in Room 7 of our Education Building. They are currently reading Truth & Hope by Walter Brueggemann. All are welcome to join.

Child Friendly Services

Children are welcome to stay during service.

Special Services

We occasionally have special services related to the Liturgical Calendar including Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost. In addition, two of our favorite services each year are our Lessons and Carols service during Advent, and our candlelight Christmas Eve celebration.

What is Passing of the Peace?

A much enjoyed part of our service is the Passing of the Peach of Christ. We take this opportunity to greet and visit with each other during this part of our worship. You will be greeted by many members happy to see you join us.

What Should I Wear?

Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. Most people wear casual attire. Don’t feel like you need to dress up… come as you are.

Where Should I Sit?

You'll find the best seats for viewing the service are in the center section facing the chancel where the pastor preaches. Don't worry about taking anyone's 'regular seat'. We're flexible and it's good for us to make room and see everything from a new perspective.

How Long is the Service?

Worship normally lasts around 70 minutes. Expect a few extra minutes if it is Communion Sunday or if we have a joint service with our Brazilian brothers and sisters from the BCC that shares our campus.
