On the self-guided audio tour, King's inspirational sermons will take visitors back in time, while the new Horizon Sanctuary across the street is home to the present day congregation, highlighted by its traditional tabernacle choir. « less

This was our 1st stop on our MLK journey. Being in the exact same place where Martin Luther King Jr inspired many week after week was just amazing. They have restored the sanctuary along with the furnishings, microphone, organ, and fixtures. Simply beautiful! And they have recordings of his sermons playing as you are in there. More

Just to walk where Martin Luther walked and sit in the sanctuary where he preached gives you a glimpse of the sacrifices he undertook. The edifice is awesome and a great house for the Lord to dwell. More

# 1 - It's Historical, #2: It's Free. It has just been recently reopened after major restorations. Hear Dr. King's speeches, relax, it's peaceful and simple. More

Walk in the steps of a young MLK, Jr. On Auburn Ave in Atalanta. The church has been totally restored to the period when young Rev. King, Jr would deliver his sermon. You can sit in the church close your eyes and listen to the audio recording of Dr. King, Jr. and imagine what it must have been like to... More
