It’s a Wrap! Women’s Ministry event helped hundreds of children.
On the evening of November 12, nearly 200 women gathered to worship and wrap Christmas presents. By the end of the evening, there were 164 presents wrapped and ready to be distributed to teenagers who otherwise would not receive gifts for Christmas.Thanks to everyone that helped make the evening successful!
Girl’s Night Out
This is one of the biggest outreach events of our Women’s Ministry. It is an opportunity for women
in our church to reach out and invite a friend, neighbor, coworker or relative who may not have a church
home to an evening of fun, encouragement and friendship. Each Girls Night Out features an inspirational
speaker who will clearly share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Club Mom
Moms of all ages are invited to Club Mom! This is a place to connect to moms who may be new to our
community or who may not have a church home. In addition to refreshments and meeting new friends,
moms will be challenged and encouraged by an inspiring speaker. Club Mom meets at Hunter Street
the first Monday of each month during the school year.
English as A Second Language
ESL stands for English as A Second Language and is a vital part of our Missions Ministry.
Volunteers do not need to speak another language besides English. The goal is to improve conversational English skills, so even teachers who can speak another language must teach their classes in English.
Students in the Hunter Street ESL classes are not primarily Hispanic. We have students from Japan, Korea, Vietnam, India, Yemen and many other places, so it isn’t necessary that volunteers speak Spanish.
Thousands of internationals make their homes in Birmingham. If you meet them a store or restaurant, invite them to an ESL class. Classes are offered on Wednesday morning and evening and Sunday morning.
The Foundry
Foundry Friends is a ministry of The Foundry, a Bible-based recovery and rehabilitation center in
Bessemer. Volunteers with Foundry Friends mentor and encourage women one-on-one weekly, assist with
special events, lead Bible study short or long-term, and serve as a host for residents to attend
Hunter Street womens’ events.
Foundry Friends are involved in mentoring weekly or bi-weekly for one year with one resident, Bible study 6-12 weeks or long-term, or help as needed during special events only.
Jessie’s Place
Jessie’s Place is a downtown mission for moms who must leave their home environment because of abuse
or other situations. This ministry provides a meal and Bible study monthly for these moms, as well as
leading children’s activities during the Bible study time. Volunteers are willing to participate in
regularly scheduled Bible study time at Jessie’s Place.
