About us

Sunday Assembly Atlanta is part of the international movement of people who want to celebrate the one life we know we have. You can find other Assemblies in Los Angeles, Nashville, Edinburgh, Pittsburgh, London, and over 20 locations found on this map.
We are here for everyone who wants to:
* Live Better. We aim to provide inspiring, thought-provoking and practical ideas that help people to live the lives they want to lead and be the people they want to be
* Help Often. Assemblies are communities of action building lives of purpose, encouraging us all to help anyone who needs it to support each other
* Wonder More. Hearing talks, singing as one, listening to readings and even playing games helps us to connect with each other and the awesome world we live in.
The Sunday Assembly
1. Is 100% celebration of life. We are born from nothing and go to nothing. Let’s enjoy it together.
2. Has no doctrine. We have no set texts so we can make use of wisdom from all sources.
3. Has no deity. We don’t do supernatural but we also won’t tell you you’re wrong if you do.
4. Is radically inclusive. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their beliefs – this is a place of love that is open and accepting.
5. Is free to attend, not-for-profit and volunteer run. We ask for donations to cover our costs and support our community work.
6. Has a community mission. Through our Action Heroes (you!), we will be a force for good.
7. Is independent. We do not accept sponsorship or promote outside businesses, organizations or services.
8. Is here to stay. With your involvement, The Sunday Assembly will make the world a better place.
9. We won’t tell you how to live, but will try to help you do it as well as you can.
10. And remember point 1… The Sunday Assembly is a celebration of the one life we know we have. What should you expect from a Sunday Assembly event? Just by being with us you should be energized, vitalized, restored, repaired, refreshed and recharged.
No matter what the subject of the Assembly, it will solace worries, provoke kindness and inject a touch of transcendence into the everyday. But life can be tough… It is. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, we have moments of weakness or life just isn’t fair. We want The Sunday Assembly to be a house of love and compassion, where, no matter what your situation, you are welcomed, accepted and loved. Most of all, have fun, be nice and join in.

Gwinnett Secular Fellowship (GSF) was formed for people living in metro Atlanta who would like to experience a sense of community through friendly and interesting discussions in a secular setting. Religious ideas centered in the supernatural are not promoted in the space, but that does not mean you have to be non-religious to attend. At GSF, we do not force our personal views on others or denounce others’ views. At each meeting we have a single discussion topic and afterward, those who wish, enjoy more casual conversation over dinner at a nearby restaurant.NOTE: This event is free but if you are able, we would appreciate a small donation ($1-$5 suggested) to offset the cost of renting the meeting room. You can go to this link or you will have a no-pressure opportunity to donate at the meeting.
GSF is part of Sunday Assembly Atlanta (SAA). SAA is a secular, humanist community without deity, dogma, or doctrine that helps individuals “Live Better, Help Often, and Wonder More” in the one life we know we have. SAA hopes to enrich your life with connection, curiosity, purpose, and fun.
Accessibility:
The Community Center offers accessible entrances and restrooms throughout the facility.In-Person Discussion Guidelines:
When we're chatting in person, we want to help everyone feel safe, respected and heard by:- Speaking one at a time using the finger queue system (we'll teach you!)
- Using "I" statements: When sharing your thoughts, say "I feel...", "I believe" instead of "You make me feel..." or "We think that…".
- Respecting all views: Don't try to impose your opinions on others or put down others' views.

GUILD (Guys Undergoing Improvement, Learning, and Development) Lab
·OnlineOnlineABOUT GUILD
Guys Undergoing Improvement, Learning, and Development is a Sunday Assembly Atlanta co-learning lab focused on men's wellness. We host a GUILD Lab monthly, usually on the second Saturday of the month over Zoom.
Our GUILD LAB is a facilitated discussion addressing topics that our group shows interest in, and may include any kind of issue, including:
- physical and mental health
- finances
- relationships
- loneliness
- grief
- happiness
- self-worth
- career
- intimacy
- communication
- family
- mindfulness
- emotional regulation
- etc.
We are not qualified to give professional advice, and that's not the purpose of our group. As a co-learning lab, we're here to listen to each other's experiences, make observations, and use evidence at hand to make personal decisions and report back on the results so we can learn together.
HOW TO PREPARE
When you join the Zoom, we'll do some intros and then talk about what each of us would like to improve in our lives. To figure out what you would like to improve in your life, we highly recommend doing a self-assessment before we meet. You can use the wellness self assessment OR the reflection tool found here: GUILD Forms
By the end of the meeting the plan is for everyone to have an Action Plan completed (also in the link above).
We also meet on the fourth Saturday of the month just for fun. We decide where to meet up over our WhatsApp group.
I hope you join us!
