Welcome to Mission Alabama... a collaborative community transformation strategy to alleviate spiritual and material poverty through innovative partnerships that empower and restore families and communities.
WE BUILD BRIDGES...We are committed to building bridges between communities that have been historically separated by race, geography, denominations and socio-economics. We help Churches, Corporations, Governments and Individuals build the strategic bridges necessary to make a difference for a real change in the Birmingham region.

CREATE PARTNERSHIPS...

TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES!

MISSION ALABAMA is a bridge and not a pier. Piers allow you to have an experience while bridges allow you to create the personal relationships necessary for life transformation. These relationships allow us to create effective partnerships that enable you to move from throwing "turkeys over the wall" to empowering Community Based Organizations (CBO) that reside in distressed communities. These CBOs carry on the work after volunteers are long gone. As a result of tis life-on-life contact, those being served are able to experience real restoration.
UPCOMING EVENT: The Birmingham Region's National Day of Prayer Observance
The 50th Annual Greater Birmingham Mayors' Prayer Breakfast
Please join us on May 1, 2014 for the 50th Annual Greater Birmingham Mayors' Prayer Breakfast. The 2014 event will be held at the Sheraton Ball Room and will begin at 7:00 A.M. For more information register online now! Mayor William Bell is serving as the host Mayor and Birmingham as the host city for this regional breakfast. We are asking you and your colleagues to join Alabamians from across the region for this worthwhile event.
This event has become an important part of Birmingham’s spiritual legacy. In the aftermath of the chaotic 1963 Birmingham Campaign, the faith community in America, spearheaded by Rev. Billy Graham, held Birmingham’s first integrated event at Legion Field on Easter Sunday 1964. Shortly thereafter, local Christian businessmen joined together to have the first Prayer Breakfast as Mayor Albert Boutwell ushered in a new form of city Government for Birmingham. Since this first call to prayer, this event has expanded to include all the mayors in Jefferson and Shelby County municipalities to truly foster fellowship and greater cooperation in the Birmingham region.
This regional event brings families, communities and municipalities together to embrace our common unity. We are at that point in history where the call for strong communities is paramount to combating the forces that seek to destroy our families. Collective prayer and invoking the hand of God is essential for our city’s and nation’s prosperity.
