The Nest

The Nest is a group of dedicated people who feel called by God to help others. The Nest feeds the homeless at the Changed Lives Christian Center in Birmingham. Changed Lives Christian Center has been endorsed by the City of Birmingham, Operation New Birmingham and numerous community and neighborhood associations. This outreach touches and blesses hearts, ultimately pleasing God.  Anyone is welcome to join us in our outreach to the homeless by joining us the 4th Sunday night of every month. Watch the Messenger or News and Events for details or contact Jean Tims through the church office.

Food for Urban Ministry

An outreach that began by the United Methodist Women with church-wide participation, Food for Urban Ministry challenges Mountain Chapel to donate a specific food item or items each month. These items are either used in Urban Ministry’s soup kitchen or for individual emergency situations. Donations are placed in the FLC lobby and are picked up at the end of the month.

Crossroads Church

Through a partnership, Mountain Chapel United Methodist Church is helping to revive Crossroads United Methodist Church ministry through various means. Currently we are collecting men’s, women’s, and children’s gently-used clothing and shoes for the Crossroads’ Thrift Store. For more information about Crossroad’s needs or to how to give financially, please contact Tom Parrish through the church office.

The WellHouse, Inc.

The WellHouse is a faith-based and Christ centered nonprofit organization offering emergency shelter and transitional housing to women who have been trafficked, are prostituting, or otherwise sexually exploited. Food, clothing, spiritual guidance, mental health counseling, and other necessities are provided, along with substance abuse treatment, if needed. Life skills classes, GED preparation, and other enrichment services are part of the experience to help these women become self-sufficient and give them a sense of self-worth.

The Bridge

The Bridge is an outreach ministry serving people in a situational crisis who need a place to stay for a short period of time at no cost to them. For more information, contact Richard and Marsha Tudor through the church office.
