About us

Summerhill Community Ministries, Inc. is a community based, indigenously-led Christian organization which exists to reach Atlanta's inner city youth and families for Christ. We seek to accomplish our mission by providing opportunities for personal, spiritual, family, and community improvement. By doing so, we encourage, empower, and equip our youth and families to reach their full potential in Christ in order to impact others.

Our community has long been plagued with crime, unemployment, teen pregnancy, one parent families, racial strife, poor performing schools, drugs, violence, a high suicide rate, and a pervasive spirit of despair and hopelessness. According to statistics, 56.90% of our 9th graders never graduate. 70,000 Atlanta residents live at or below poverty level.? 71.23% of Atlanta Public School students receive free or reduced cost meals. High school SAT scores are declining and are among the lowest in the country. Our goal is to offer hope and help to those in need. We want our young people to succeed a nd break destructive life cycles.
