Atlanta Dream Center Church (ADCC)/Atlanta School of Ministry (ASOM) and Atlanta Dream Center (ADC) were founded together in 2003 by Pastor Paul Palmer and his family. The heart was to have a church with open doors to everyone, even those who were not loved by society. The school was formed to train students to preach the gospel to all and live it out daily. 

ADCC has remained in the same neighborhood it started in and seen the change of demographic over the years because it has held to its mission to be a church with open arms. It has grown from a church in a gym to a church in an up-and-coming neighborhood reaching the communities all over Atlanta.

ASOM has grown into an accredited school through partnerships and has been a powerhouse to the church ministries as well as Atlanta Dream Center. It has grown from 5 students in 2003 to well over 80 in 2018. ASOM has commissioned pastors, missionaries, and leaders all around the world. 

ADC has three major ministries: iAM (homelessness and addiction), Out of Darkness (commercial sexual exploitation), and Metro Kidz (prevention). These exist to impact as many hearts and lives as possible through the power of the Gospel. We know that to do this, we must abide in God’s presence and seek divine direction in all we do. Our team is unified in our commitment to walk in honesty, humility and holiness and to show honor and compassion to all those we meet. 

As a Movement together, it is our supreme desire is to share the love of God with everyone we meet so that they, too, will follow Him. We believe that love is an action word. It is the guiding principle behind all we say and do. It is why when we see a need, we act. 

The need is great, and the time is short. We have faith that God will bless your willingness to respond to the need that is before us and we know that He will be faithful in accomplishing the work that He has begun here in the city of Atlanta.
