Consider purchasing any toy or wrapping paper & tape! Place it under one of the trees before December 7th!

Did you know we pray for one of our ministry partners in Birmingham each week?

This week we are praying for The Gideons International! Join us each day as we lift up this ministry & their faithful work locally in East Shelby County as well as worldwide.

As the federal shutdown continues, families across Birmingham are facing food insecurity. Churches & ministries are rallying to support our neighbors in need!

Learn more about ways you, your family, & your small group can love your neighbor during this time at the link in our bio!

We are so thankful for the encouragement and partnership of First Baptist Church Hoover. The City Ministries/ESL team, Iglesia La Conexion, and Birmingham Cross Cultural Connections were invited to enjoy a fellowship breakfast and update the church on what the Lord has been doing in Hoover through each of these ministries.

We are so blessed to labor alongside FBC Hoover!

We are so encouraged by Birmingham City Schools and especially Oliver Elementary! Take a look at the hard work being put in by the faculty, teachers, and students!
