As a church we are committed to making disciples of all nations through knowing and going- we make ourselves aware of the needs of our community, our nation and our world (know) and we take steps to meet those needs through local missions projects and domestic and international missions trips (go).
 
We have regularly scheduled missions opportunities in Shelby Co., and Birmingham with organizations like the Shelby Baptist Association and Jessie’s Place. Additionally, we partner with other agencies in the work they are doing through participation in their ministry activity and special collections.
 
We want to be a church that is consistently active in meeting the needs of others and bringing the good news of the Gospel to the nations and make Christ-centered, relationship driven disciples of all people.
