Amana Academy wants to share its school with Activate Church

Amana Academy is seeking city permission to host Activate Church on Sunday mornings at its Alpharetta campus — using the school cafeteria as a worship space.⁠[1]

The K–8 public charter school at 285 South Main Street has requested a conditional-use permit from the City of Alpharetta. Its application proposes no change to the property's zoning classification.⁠[1]

The school's Oct. 27, 2026, letter of intent describes Sunday use from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The principal worship space would be the 6,300-square-foot cafeteria/auditorium, with a maximum of 250 seats. The letter lists Activate Church's congregation at 120 people.⁠[1]

Three classrooms, each approximately 650 square feet, would also be used for childcare, according to the letter.⁠[1]

Amana says church traffic would be well below its weekday school traffic. The accompanying Sunday trip report projects 240 vehicle trips: 120 arrivals and 120 departures. Those figures are part of the applicant's submission, not a city finding.⁠[1]

The application is a request for permission, not evidence of approval. The materials reviewed do not establish a hearing date or final city decision.⁠[1]
