The historic congregations

The churches that made the city's history

Ebenezer Baptist Church on Auburn Avenue, where Martin Luther King Jr. preached, still gathers in the historic sanctuary. Big Bethel AME and the other Sweet Auburn congregations anchor the city's civil-rights-era religious history and remain active today.
