We exist to be Jesus’ church, his body, in and for Homewood and Metro Birmingham. With God as our Father, we gather as a family, a fellowship of brothers and sisters, a household of faith. Because Christ is our Lord, we are his disciples, seeking to follow him and to “grow up into him in every way.” And we are Jesus’ sent people, empowered by the Holy Spirit to celebrate and declare the gospel, in our homes, neighborhoods, work places, city, and to the ends of the earth.

Joel Busby, Pastor
