Built With Courage. 
Built To Belong.

CBH began in the 1980s as Atlanta’s first LGBTQ-founded congregation — created by people who refused to stand outside Jewish life.

Today, we are a Reconstructionist community shaping vibrant, relevant Jewish life together — where music carries prayer, learning stretches us, and justice is woven into who we are.

Open Voices

Shabbat. Song. Sacred gathering. Our chorus and musicians shape prayer that moves.

Open Minds

Torah in conversation.
Serious study. Honest questions. Lifelong learning.

Open Hearts

Bring your whole self. Interfaith families, queer Jews, seekers, and lifelong builders of community.

Open Arms

Our story began with inclusion. It continues with belonging.

Not Just a Congregation. A Community.

CBH was built by people who wanted more than a place to attend services.
They wanted a place to belong.

Here, we sing together. We wrestle with Torah.
We show up for one another and for the world around us.

This is our House of Friends — and there’s always room for you here.
