For more than 120 years, the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church has been a powerhouse of religious faith and freedom. Its first pastor had been born into slavery, and this famous church has been known for many prominent speakers since. This is where Martin Luther King Jr. presented his message of nonviolence to the people who gathered there. He spoke about God’s deliverance through the ages and brought a strong religious faith to the fight for civil rights. The Ebenezer Baptist Church still stands at the head of the fight for social justice. It continues to share a powerful message regarding its faith in Jesus Christ and its holistic ministerial approach in its community.
