Oxygen did well for themselves with their hit reality shows “Preachers of L.A.” and “Preachers of Detroit,” and now they’re expanding the franchise with the new series “Preachers of Atlanta.”
The series will focus on five Atlanta area preachers: Pastor Corey Hambrick of the Life Church Christian Center, Pastor Le’Andria Johnson of I.P.C. (Imperfect People Changing) Ministries, Pastor Canton Jones of Free Life Church, Pastor Kimberly Jones-Pothier Church of the Harvest, and Pastor Judah Swilley of The Movement.
According to the network, viewers will watch as the preachers take both orthodox and unorthodox paths, such as using hip-hop and venturing out into unexpected Atlanta neighborhoods to spread the gospel to the masses. The unconventional preachers are even going to touch upon hot button social issues such as the racial tension surrounding law enforcement and the Black community.
“‘Preachers of Atlanta’ features a young, vibrant group of pastors who are pushing the envelope and tackling real-world issues in their communities, creating thought-provoking dialogue,” said Rod Aissa, executive vice president of Original Programming and Development, Oxygen Media. “The series showcases a new generation of preachers who, through their nontraditional approaches, are unapologetic in their ministry and unafraid to break down boundaries in an effort to drive positive change.”
“Preachers of Atlanta” will premiere on Wednesday, Feb. 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
