WHO ARE WE?

We are a diverse community, consisting of people young and old, black and white, single and married, gay and straight, cisgender and transgender, and everyone in between.

We come from all walks of life, being lifelong Presbyterians and newcomers to the Reformed faith, liberals, conservatives, moderates, and everyone in between.

We hail from all over the greater Birmingham area; some of us drive 30+ miles to get here, while some of us live downtown and can walk to church.

We embrace this home in the heart of the city, committing to our neighbors downtown and being intentional about enjoying the gift of life God has given to us all.

We gather together to worship God each week, to seek to follow Jesus Christ in our daily living, and, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to be foolish enough to believe we can make a difference in this world.

We are people. We are Christians. We are Presbyterians. We are ready and waiting to welcome you into this vibrant community of faith.

We are a Matthew 25 Congregation, committed to

• Building Congregational Vitality

• Dismantling Structural Racism

• Eliminating Systemic Poverty
