Most folks who participate in the J.O.Y. group are over the age of 55; however, this warm group of people welcomes adults of all ages. The J.O.Y. group spreads the joy of the Lord by ministering to others through prayer support and fellowship. When the J.O.Y. group meets for a time of food, fun, discipleship, or fellowship, the meeting usually transitions into a time of joyous celebration as they sing and magnify God. Those Just Over Youth have experienced valuable lessons of wisdom, and we cherish the stability they provide our church. Our invaluable prayer chain is primarily sponsored by the J.O.Y. group.

 Women of Prayer and Daughters of Zion are prayer groups organized to pray for our children, family, friends, teachers, churches, communities, and nation every week. Women of the church are divided into groups which focus on certain needs each day of the week. They link with other women around the world to fervently pray for specific needs. On the fourth Tuesday of every month, the Daughters of Zion gather during our church family prayer time to petition God on behalf of our children.

 The CROWD is the place to be for young people age 12 and up! The CROWD at Atlanta West includes young people focused on living for God. Young people are constantly on the go, and CROWD activities range from weekly youth services in their own sanctuary beginning at 7:37 pm to activities such as Talent Nights, ski trips, all night lock-ins, fund-raisers, youth camps, and sports tournaments. The annual Youth Revival is a time for young people to focus their lives on God’s service. These events are created to help young men and women use their time in positive ways while providing an opportunity to reach their friends for God. This CROWD is definitely different because everyone has a place in “The CROWD”.
