Quarterly Citywide Pastoral Prayer
Once a quarter, Pastors from across the greater Birmingham
community gather for a Pastoral Prayer Time that we call
Cry for Birmingham.
It is a time that we set aside to pray for the families and
leaders of this community. Believing that the prayers of
righteous men avails much, we stand in the gap for the
salvation and longevity of our city. The event is hosted on
the twentieth floor of the Regions building in the Regions
Executive Dining Room. Beginning with a light breakfast, we
enter into an hour long period of focused prayer.

Pastor’s Prayer Clusters
Who's watching the watchman? The prayer clusters are
designed as a safe place for Pastors. Meting in various
locations across the Birmingham region, these clusters
provide a place of healing, support and realignment for many
serving in the pastoral ranks. There is also an Hispanic
Prayer cluster that meets on a regular bases with more than
twenty Pastors. For additional information please contact us

Pastor’s Prayer Summit
Once a year in the hills of Talladega Alabama, a group of
Pastors from the Birmingham community take a Pilgrimage to
our Pastor’s Prayer Summit. This prayer time is spread over
a three day period and the only agenda is prayer. It is a
place where peers have the opportunity to just be men. It is
here that many Pastors find support as a man, husband,
father and a son. Each year Shocco Springs has become a
place of healing for many and a place of rest for others.
For all it is a place to meet with God See the calendar of
events for additional information).

Pastor’s Disaster Response Network
In 2005 over 1800 people lost their lives during Hurricane
Katrina. Tens of thousands more were scattered across
southern states. Mission Birmingham responded by being a
focal point of recovery efforts for families displaced. From
coordinating temporary shelter, food and clothing at the
onset, we eventually help a large number of families
relocate into apartments and homes throughout the Birmingham
region. It was the largest mobilization of the faith
community since mobilizing more than 2,500 volunteers from
over 125 churches to stage the Convoy of Hope at Legion
Field. Mission Birmingham has garnered the respect of the
entire community as an organization that operates
effectively and transparently in coordinating resources with
needs.

Servant Leadership Team
The Servant Leadership is a volunteer group of Pastors that
provide accountability ad direction for many of the efforts
undertaken by Mission Birmingham in mobilizing the community
of faith in the Birmingham region. These men also serve as
ambassadors to reaching out to leaders of the more than 1200
churches our area.
