Visit Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church the spiritual home of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was baptized here as a child and at the age of 19 became ordained a minister. He continued to serve as co-pastor (with his father) until his death in 1968. Stand at the pulpit where Dr. King honed his oratory and found his spiritual fervor. The church is now a National Historic Site. In 2001, it underwent a renovation to modernize the facilities and restore the interior to how it looked in the 1960s while Dr. King served there.
