Central Presbyterian Church

Central Presbyterian Church is considered an "Island of Delight" in Atlanta, Georgia. Those who are a part of the church believe it is a "wellspring" that nourishes the human life, body, and spirit. The church preaches, teaches, and helps the human spirit worship. The church has long roots back into the 1800s. In fact the church was founded in 1858. It struggled like Atlanta did with the American Civil War. It was almost destroyed as a building when the fires and war reached the city. However, the building still stands proudly displaying the architecture of the past. The architecture is slightly gothic with brick facades, statues and more.

Throughout the church's lifetime it has emphasized social justice. It was also a home for girls in the early 1910s. As a health care facility and church they worked to heal those in need, and take care of babies born to women out of wedlock. In the 60s there were numerous changes to the church that have helped it remain today. Guests of Atlanta are able to tour the church when a mass is not going on. They can also read the plaques outside the church to learn more of the history such as the time of Martin Luther King Jr.
