Serving Montgomery
Children and Pro-Life Ministries
Adullam House: Adullam House provides children a home in Central Alabama for children of incarcerated parents. For some children it’s a short-term rescue, for others it will be a brand-new permanent home, but for all it’s a place of refuge where the love of Jesus brings peace and healing with the goal of reuniting the children with their biological families whenever possible. As they operate privately with no government assistance, much help is needed.
Anglicans for Life: Working to uphold the Biblical principles concerning the sacredness of life, Anglican for Life partners with local agencies like Sav-A-Life and Life on Wheels to help families find the resources and support they need to choose life! For more information, contact Dolly McLemore at 262-7527.
Common Ground Montgomery: CGM focuses on youth development and leadership through year-round after-school programs and camps for at-risk children in West Montgomery.
First Choice Women’s Medical Center: This local center offers important services such as free pregnancy testing and ultrasounds, prenatal care, and parenting education opportunities for both the mother and father! Their “Earn While You Learn” program allows parents to earn baby supplies from their on-site First Things Baby Boutique after completing video-based classes.
Valiant Cross Academy: VCA is an all-male school started in 2015 that serves 140 scholars in 6th-9th grades. It is a private school with a Christian emphasis and an intentional culture of structure and discipline.

Homeless Ministries
Mercy House: We love to partner with this “Day House” in West Montgomery. It’s a safe haven for homeless people to get a hot meal, take showers, and wash and dry their clothes. In addition, children stop in and receive an after school snack on their way home each day. During the holidays, when there is no benefit of a free school sponsored lunch, they feed young people who are hungry. They always need donations and volunteers – what a fun way to get involved in the community!
Reality & Truth Ministries: This ministry provides not only spiritual and physical nutrition through daily meals, clothes and other physical needs, but also hope and sound teaching through fellowship and Bible Studies!

Serving the World
Uganda
Christchurch is honored to sponsor all of the 170 precious children at Allsaints Primary School! We work with the Church of Uganda to provide educational opportunities and medical support for these orphaned and vulnerable children. In addition, we are providing funds to improve the physical campus of their school, so that it might be a place of safety and security. We want them to learn not only their ABCs, but also about the eternal hope and love of their Heavenly Father! During Lent, the children of Christchurch sponsor The Giving Tree Sponsorships to benefit the children of Allsaints. For more information, contact Katherine Akin at 387-0566, ext. 209.
Ukraine
Christchurch is proud to partner with Bridges of Faith! Three times each year, Bridges of Faith brings Ukrainian orphans to BridgeStone's 140 acre retreat center to taste Southern culture, faith and life. All volunteer driven, hundreds of people from across America and Ukraine work together to demonstrate His love for these kids. Though not an adoption agency, families meet the children and often invite these kids into their forever families. Currently, 110 children have been adopted by participating in this program.
Guatemala
Christchurch has sent three teams to Panajachel, Guatemala on International Youth Mission Trips. A small group of youth spend a week working with children and supporting the ministries of local missionaries in Guatemala. Relationships are made with the people of Guatemala that will continue to grow for years to come. For more information about upcoming mission trips or to hear how you can help support wells being built to provide vital clean water, please contact Katherine Akin at 387-0566 ext 209.
