In 1978 seven sponsoring churches, along with the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta, founded AMIS. Today, other churches and community organizations have joined AMIS with financial support and volunteers. In 2016, Kiwanis Club members joined the board. Today the sponsoring organizations of AMIS are:
1) Ebenezer Baptist Church, HistoricEbenezer.org
2) First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, FirstPresAtl.org
3) Mt. Vernon Presbyterian Church, www.mvpchurch.org
4) Oglethorpe Presbyterian Church, opcBrookhaven.org
5) Peachtree Presbyterian Church, PeachtreePres.org
6) St. James United Methodist Church, StJamesAtlanta.org
7) St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church, StMartins.org
8) Kiwanis International, http://www.kiwanis.org/
9) North Avenue Presbyterian Church, www.napc.org
Representatives from each of these sponsoring organizations comprise our Board of Directors. Hundreds of volunteers of diverse faith backgrounds make our ministry a welcomed gift to international students and scholars. Our volunteers are blessed in return by the richness of international friendship.
