His tenure is marked by extraordinary pastoral care and spiritual guidance. Beyond our church walls, Rev. McDonald's service includes three terms as President of Concerned Black Clergy of Atlanta and significant roles with Mayor Maynard Jackson's administration and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
