Campus Partners
The Second-Ponce campus is buzzing with activity all weeklong. We are honored that a number of community organizations and programs operate from our church. We value the work they do and we think, after reading more about them, you will, too.
Meet Our Neighbors
Alma Domestic Violence Foundation
The Alma Domestic Violence Foundation, formerly Alma G. Davis Foundation, was founded in 2005 by Alma G. Davis as a result of her own personal trials and triumphs with domestic violence.“Having received my own first set of black eyes at the tender age of 14, I felt it was only right to reach back and grab those who are pushing their way forward,” says founder Alma G. Davis. Now a respected businesswoman and community leader, Davis has made it her passion to uplift women and teen survivors by serving thousands of victims at 64 facilities across Georgia.
Alma provides direct services and training to victims including pre-employment and work maturity skills, financial literacy, healthcare and social services. They also work directly with students in middle and high school, colleges and universities regarding dating violence prevention and education. Additionally, Alma provides hospitals with domestic violence transitional services including post-discharge assistance and holistic wellness care.
Atlanta Suzuki Violin
More than fifty years ago, Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki began to apply the basic principles of language acquisition to the learning of music and called his method the Mother-Tongue Approach. The ideas of parent responsibility, loving encouragement, constant repetition, etc., are some of the special features of the Suzuki approach.
Instructor Virginia Sloan, a violinist and native Atlantan, considers herself a specialist in Early Childhood Suzuki Method. While using other styles and methods as well, she incorporates a wealth of performing experience training and her love for children into her approach. Though she teaches all levels, she has found her niche with younger children. In 1991 Virginia founded and directed Atlanta Suzuki Violin in Buckhead and she continues to offer lessons at Second-Ponce.
Collective Learning Academy
The mission of Collective Learning Academy (CLA) is to maximize the potential of each student, meeting them at their current academic and functional level and moving them forward. We work to instill confidence and competence in each of our students, building a foundation for success and independence. CLA removes obstacles to learning. Once barriers are gone, they teach both academic and functional skills in their smallest components through research-based strategies that cultivate success at every step.
Community Wellness Center
The Community Wellness Center at Second-Ponce offers top quality amenities, fitness equipment, programs and classes. We’re located in the heart of Buckhead Atlanta, but we strive for a cozy community atmosphere. Our members are like family and we’d love to have you join. Take a look around and see what makes the CWC a great place for achieving your fitness goals.
Day1
Day1 is the voice of the historic Protestant churches, presenting outstanding preachers from the mainline denominations, including the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the Episcopal Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), United Church of Christ, United Methodist Church, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), American Baptist Churches, and others. Their website features an extensive library of lectionary-based sermons in text and audio, video resources, and helpful blog posts, along with other helpful information for lay persons and pastors.
Respite Care Atlanta
Respite Care Atlanta’s mission is to provide spiritually integrated respite care for adults with cognitive challenges. They provide an environment for intellectual stimulation, physical exercise and meaningful connections, with support for caregivers through information and community resources. RCA’s success is largely attributed to a team of consistent and caring volunteers serving in a variety of positions based on passions or skill sets.
