Primary Care Physician (MD or DO)
Overview
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 Columbus, Georgia. 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 center which provides excellent care physically, emotionally and spiritually. We work hand-in-hand with existing ministries as well as help create new ministries as needed to bring Christ to the poor, crippled, blind and lame.
As a community of Believers, we envision and earnestly long for the heart of Christ to be developed in us so that we might truly love our neighbor and redeem lives in the communities in and around Columbus, Georgia. If our hearts are not first healed by Christ, our labor will be in vain. All that we do is for the Glory of God.
