Sharing the history, growth, and ministry of Peachtree Road UMC… one story at a time.
PRUMC's Centennial
JOin us in celebrating 100 years
On June 1, 2025 we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Peachtree Road United Methodist Church. We have been blessed with ten extraordinary decades of ministry, making us the flagship of Methodism in the southeast.
In honor of our centennial, celebratory events and initiatives are being planned throughout the next two years. We will host warm reunions and resplendent concerts. We will gather for sacred worship and grateful prayer. We will dedicate spaces that honor our history and prepare for growth.
Our hope is to honor all who built the firm foundation on which we will build our radiant future. We hope you will be a part! Look for information on how you can get involved in the coming months.

Doves
The Doves of Peachtree Road
In November of this year, Peachtree Road will present a once-in-a-lifetime experience to commemorate our centennial. Thousands of origami doves will ascend through the sacred space of our sanctuary – starting from the back balcony, soaring through the nave, and rising up through the cupola.
Peachtree Road UMC is privileged to be the third location in the United States to host a Soaring Doves exhibit, joining the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, and Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, CA. We will be the seventh space worldwide to present a “flying” origami dove installation of this scale and are grateful for the opportunity to share this beautiful and meaningful work.
The doves will fly from November 2024 through June 2025, and you may sponsor a dove in honor or memory of someone special. We look forward to sharing this incredible work of art with our congregation and community.
Throughout our history, God has poured the Holy Spirit into our congregation. Your sponsorship of one or more doves will fund this magnificent work of art, which is being specially created to commemorate the spirit of our people and our Centennial.
The requested sponsorship donation amount is $100 per dove with no limit to the number of doves you can sponsor.
Sponsorships may be made in honor or memory of someone special.
The online form will accept 20 separate sponsorship donations but will prompt you to complete one at a time. (It goes quickly.)
Paper forms are available at the church office.
You may sponsor doves from now until they take flight in November of 2024.
You may choose to keep any doves you sponsor. (Available June 2025.)
You may choose to make an additional donation in any amount to support Centennial projects and celebrations.
All donations are tax-deductible. If you have questions about dove sponsorship, please contact Heather C. Holdridge at [email protected] or 404.240.8302.
Thank you for your support, vision, and generosity!
