Community Resources

Our church community supports cooperatives that help the wider community, such as Greater Birmingham Ministries, and is a part of Southside Faith Communities. As a small church, we have limited resources but share what we can, including a food pantry open as needed. The following organizations have asked to be listed on our Community Resources page and/or are resources in the community that we recommend for folx in need.
