A specialized treatment center in Brunswick, Ga., it addresses the educational, physical-psychological, spiritual and social needs of the children it serves. The 350-acre campus, located on Highway 99 in north Glynn County, originally opened in 1946 as Boys' Estate, a home for underprivileged boys. In 1996, it was renamed Morningstar Baptist Treatment Services and later Morningstar Treatment Services to broaden its relationships. Its staff and support base are ecumenical.
