The Mission
Transforming Lives With the Gospel Through Medicine
CMDA Atlanta’s vision is to strengthen and equip doctors, PA’s, nurses, dentists, students, and other
healthcare professionals with the wisdom and compassion of Christ as they transform their professional
fields through holistic care. Through this network of Christ-centered, compassionate caregivers, people
receive the latest medical treatment as well as the transformative power of the gospel.

these professionals offer spiritual
wisdom and career guidance to

Engaging Medical Students:
As hundreds of students enter
medical school in Atlanta, they all
encounter new experiences that
consume their time, confront them
with enormous pressure, and
challenge them with competing
world views. CMDA Atlanta seeks to
be a spiritual oasis amidst the storm.
We facilitate connections with other
students and experienced doctors to
strengthen both their faith and their
careers. Through mentorships,
volunteer opportunities, mission
trips, and faith-based healthcare
teaching, students are given the tools
needed to build a spiritually thriving
medical practice.
Reaching the Marginalized:
The global need for adequate
hospitals with trained staff is
unending. CMDA Atlanta answers
the cries of impoverished regions in
other countries and in our own city
by deploying teams of medical
professionals and students to take
holistic care, essential training, and

marginalized. In addition to 4
mission trips annually, we deploy our
Mobile Medical Unit several times
each month to underserved areas of
Atlanta, offering both healthcare and
spiritual encouragement to those in
our city who need it most.
