179th Church Anniversary FLO — The Marcus Johnson Experience
Wednesday, October 14, 2026 | Doors 6:30 PM · Music at 7:00 PM
Big Bethel AME Church · 220 Auburn Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30303
Some nights you go to hear music. This one, you come to feel it.
Billboard chart-topping pianist Marcus Johnson brings his signature FLO — For the Love Of... — experience to one of Atlanta's most sacred stages, as part of Big Bethel's 179th Church Anniversary week. Expect soulful jazz, warm grooves, and the kind of room where you can finally exhale: celebrate 179 years of Big Bethel, honor the generations who built it, and share an evening of music, culture, and connection with your city.
This is jazz on holy ground. Founded in 1847 on Historic Auburn Avenue, Big Bethel AME is the oldest African American church in Atlanta — 179 years of civil-rights history, community, and celebration. For one night, it becomes a place to gather, reflect, and let the music do what words can't.
Bring your family. Bring your people. Come be present.
The evening: Doors open 6:30 PM · Live performance begins 7:00 PM · An intimate evening of music, reflection, and FLO
