Embry Hills United Methodist Church

HistoryRedeemer OPC in Atlanta was begun in 1966 when four families who had moved to Atlanta from the Miami, FL area came together to pray. In the spring of 1967 the prayer fellowship group organized as a chapel under the oversight of a sister OPC church in Harriman, TN. It was then that the name Redeemer was suggested. With additional families, Redeemer OPC called her first pastor, Elmer M. Dortzbach, supported by the assistance of the home missions and church extension committee of the denomination. Mr. Dortzbach and his family arrived in August 1967, and the chapel was soon organized and officially became a church. Redeemer met in numerous locations during those early years, and after three years on the second floor of a bank building, she moved into her own building in the fall of 1973. The property at 3930 Chamblee Tucker Road had been purchased in 1969, but construction didn't begin until 1972.SpecialtiesWe are delighted that you have found us on the internet!
