Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church

‘This is so SDOP’

The woman from Iraq was dressed completely in black.  It was the first time she had been to Refugee Family Literacy at Memorial Drive Ministries in Stone Mountain, Georgia in two weeks. When Jennifer Green, director of the program, asked what had happened, she learned the woman’s brother had been killed by a car bomb in Iraq.  Green gave the woman a hug, told her she was sad for her, and took her to class, explaining to her teacher what had happened. It was an English-as-a-second-language class for mothers of children in the program’s preschool. 

Memorial Drive Presbyterian partners with refugees in ministry, mission

Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church in Stone Mountain is about two miles from Clarkston, Georgia, which counts as many as half of its 13,000 residents as refugees. Those who trace their Presbyterian roots to Scotland, Africa and the Caribbean, along with those who found their roots at Memorial Drive, worship side by side.
