Milton just landed a corporate HQ: up to 100 jobs

Milton just landed a corporate headquarters. Ministry Brands — a software company, founded in 1997, that serves more than 90,000 churches and nonprofits and processes roughly $6.5 billion in charitable giving a year — has relocated its headquarters from Tennessee to Milton, bringing ultimately up to 100 employees.

The company has set up at One Deerfield Centre, the office complex the city has been working to revitalize under its "Destination Deerfield" initiative; the building's amphitheater will host the company's "Healthy Church Summits." A formal ribbon-cutting is a few weeks away.

"Metro Atlanta brings together a strong technology ecosystem, a deep faith community, and an exceptional talent base," said CEO Chris Bacon, who noted the company already had executives in the area.

Mayor Peyton Jamison called the move "a tremendous win for our community," adding that it "strengthens our local economy" and reinforces Milton's standing "as a premier destination for high-quality employers."

For a city better known for horse farms than tech headquarters, it's a notable win — and a vote of confidence in the Deerfield corridor.
