Assessment

Stonemill Church Atlanta is a 'fully integrated, fully bilingual' (English/Spanish) EFCA church plant in the Lawrenceville suburb of Atlanta, led by senior pastor Tito Ruiz. Featured by EFCA Helps as a model bilingual plant. Georgia is a thin state for EFCA in the directory, and Atlanta-area Hispanic ministry is a notable rare find — most directory churches are monocultural Anglo. Worth a visit for a man in the Atlanta metro who wants EFCA evangelical clarity with multicultural worship.
