What it’s like to live in Columbus, GA (or Atlanta, GA)

The Redeemed is based in Columbus, Georgia, located along the Chattahoochee River on the Georgia–Alabama border. The area offers a strong sense of community, a relatively low cost of living, and a pace of life that appeals to families and professionals seeking balance. Columbus has a growing downtown district with restaurants, coffee shops, and a revitalized riverfront, along with one of the longest urban whitewater rafting courses in the world. The region provides excellent access to outdoor recreation, including hiking, trail running, and water activities. Columbus is also home to Fort Benning, which contributes to a dynamic and diverse community, as well as many strong local churches and a vibrant faith community. The city is about 45 minutes from Auburn University, bringing additional cultural and athletic events, and is within 90 minutes of Atlanta. For candidates preferring to be located in Atlanta, this major metropolitan area provides easy access to a major international airport, professional sports, and a wide range of cultural opportunities, while remaining close enough to collaborate effectively with the team in Columbus.
