Congratulations Class of 2024!

Chamblee First United Methodist Church is proud to recognize the hard work and academic accomplishments of our high school and college graduates.

But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women.

It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love,

And don’t take yourself too seriously — take God seriously.

- Micah 6:8 (The Message)
