Missions
“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” – Mark 10:45
Missions and Service are a big part of our spiritual formation. If we want to be like Christ, we need to serve like Christ. Email info@fmcbayminette.org for more info on how to get involved.
North Baldwin Ecumenical Association
We have a strong relationship with the North Baldwin Ecumenical Association, and we serve in the Food Pantry and Benefits Shop regularly. The Ecumenical Association Food Pantry is a ministry of the churches in Bay Minette. The ministry offers a food pantry to assist those needing meals. In addition, the ministry offers assistance to North Baldwin residents (North of I-10) facing financial difficulties to pay essential services (rent, utilities, medical).
Embrace Alabama Kids (Formerly United Methodist Children’s Home)
Since 1890, United Methodist Children’s Home has stood in the gap for the most vulnerable children. More than 130 years later, they have rebranded, and their commitment has only strengthened. Embrace Alabama Kids provides homes, healing, and hope to children from families throughout the state and in the Florida panhandle in crisis who are no longer able to live with their families due to possible neglect, abuse, or abandonment.
Among the other ministries offered by Embrace Alabama Kids are Transitional Homes for youth leaving a foster care residential setting but who may not have fully developed the independent living skills necessary to flourish on their own; Higher Education Homes for students attending the University of Alabama or The University of North Alabama; Babies First Home for teenage unwed mothers; Overton Home for children with autism whose parents are faced with the overwhelming challenge in caring for them; Mary Ellen’s Hearth a home for homeless mothers and children. We take up a special offering to support Embrace Alabama Kids at Christmas.
