What is Interfaith Atlanta

 

 

New Name. Same Commitments.

Interfaith Atlanta was formerly known as Faith Alliance of Metro Atlanta (FAMA). It underwent a name change in 2021.

 

Our Mission

To promote understanding, respect, prayer, interaction and unity among the diverse faiths in the greater Atlanta region, and to advance the influence of voices of the faith communities for the common good.

 

Our Goals

  • Advocacy and Action

To be a unified and coordinated, ethical force for justice and the common good through hands-on engagement with critical issues of our time, including food and housing security.

  • Communal Prayer

  • Education on Religion

In addition, upon request, we provide trained panelists to present at a variety of venue areas through our Interfaith Speakers Network of Atlanta.
