Since 1978, AMIS has been welcoming international students and scholars to the Atlanta area through many programs and events which help them get to know our city and connect them to local families and individuals who want to serve and make international friends.
AMIS' international students come from over 50 different nations and are students at Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Emory, Columbia Theological Seminary, Agnes Scott, Kennesaw State, Morehouse College, Oglethorpe University, Atlanta Technical College, Chattahoochee Technical College and Georgia Southwestern University.

FPC partners with AMIS by providing an annual contribution. In the past FPC members have been active participants in AMIS' "Amigo" program, an opportunity for permanent Atlanta residents from local congregations to befriend an international student and accompany them through their time in Atlanta. Right now, AMIS is conducting the Amigo program virtually. There are a few international students waiting for friends this year. Interested participants can sign up here.
