About
Our Mission: The Atlanta Morning Center exists to partner with the local church to provide prenatal through postpartum care to moms in need in the name of Jesus.
Our Vision
That the church lovingly serves those created in the image of God to ensure that neither pregnancy nor childbirth is a death sentence or detrimental to the Health of babies and mothers, so they both may have the opportunity to experience abundant life in Jesus Christ.
