The Widows Home

This property in downtown Augusta is a living witness to the beauty and tapestry of God's grace throughout the years. It began serving this community in 1818 when the first city hospital was built, later becoming Georgia's first School of Medicine. The present building, The Widows Home, was built in 1871 and was a place Confederate widows and their children could call home.
Today two young doctors who founded Christ Community Health Service of Augusta have a vision ..."In response to God’s Grace we desire to be a part of the redemptive work of Christ to the economically, socially, and spiritually impoverished communities of Augusta. We envision an incarnational ministry through a community of Believers who use their particular gifts to care for the poor and who bring them into their fellowship. Our primary means for accomplishing this goal is through a health clinic which provides excellent care physically, emotionally, and spiritually."
What an exciting opportunity for many to serve and be served,love and be loved! My boys helped on one of the many workdays and came home happy, hungry, and dirty. The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' (Matthew 25:40)
