LOCAL MISSIONS
Our Mission
As a church family, MeadowBrook has a heart for missions and making disciples. Locally, there are many opportunities to be engaged with making disciples and serving others with compassion and care. If you can't travel overseas on a short term mission trip, below are many ways you can be reaching out with the gospel to those who have never heard. If you are interested in serving in one of these ministries, contact us as missions@mbchurch.com.
Allay Ministry
Allay Ministry is MeadowBrook’s efforts to care for our homebound and nursing home members. We reach out to them through sending cards, phone calls and visits.
Caring for the Fatherless
MeadowBrook has been engaged with the Foster Care system in Etowah County in a variety of different ways for years in order to impact the fatherless and those who engage them in life for the sake of the Gospel. If you are interested in building relationships with foster parents and foster kids and desire to minister to them and their families’ needs in a meaningful way, this ministry is a great opportunity!
Disaster Relief
Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief works in partnership with other state conventions to help those affected by disasters, such as damage to areas caused by floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes. When these disasters strike, the Alabama Baptist DR teams, otherwise known as the “yellow shirt brigade”, deploy and go to care for communities in physical and spiritual ways. Many types of the aid they offer include food, water, childcare, showers, laundry, repairs, and rebuilding as well as prayer, counseling, and many opportunities to share the hope of the Gospel with communities that are hurting and have lost much.
Dream Center
The Dream Center is a place that seeks to provide kids a safe place to go for recreation, mentoring, learning life skills, tutoring, and growing in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. It is housed in the former Boys & Girls Club building off of Meighan Boulevard, across the street from Floyd Elementary School. Eddie and his team want to engage those who live in the nearby housing projects with the Gospel through afterschool programs for their students at Floyd Elementary as well as offering sports and other community events throughout the year.
Dwight Baptist Church Partnership
In the Spring of 2022, MeadowBrook entered into a partnership with Dwight Baptist Church in Alabama City in order to encourage and equip Dwight Baptist to grow their church family and engage their community for the sake of the Gospel. The initial commitment phase had MeadowBrook coming alongside Dwight on Sunday mornings during their service times. Now that Dwight has a lead pastor (Zach Howard) and are growing, we are seeking to help Dwight as they need us to grow and mature in their faith in the Lord. We are praying for the Lord’s wisdom and that He would call out some from our midst to
help with the continuing Gospel work at Dwight.
Etowah Baptist Missions Center
The EBMC engages with the poor in Etowah County to help provide them with basic needs and services such as food, clothing, hygiene, job coaching and resume building reading classes and other things.
Etowah Pregnancy Testing Center
The EPTC comes alongside those who find themselves in a “crisis pregnancy” situation, whereby they seek to walk with these women and their families, all the while pointing them to the hope of Jesus. The EPTC seeks to minister to more than just the women. A new Fatherhood Initiative has begun in 2025 to engage the men who are in the situations with their partners with the
truth of the Gospel as well.
Good News Club
Our GNC teams are in 4 different area schools (Attalla, Eura Brown, John Jones, and Striplin) loving on children and teaching them the truths of God’s Word every Tuesday morning and afternoon through songs, prayer, games and Bible stories.
- Attalla (Tuesdays, 2:30 – 4:00 pm)
- Eura Brown (Tuesdays, 2:30 – 4:00 pm)
- John Jones (Tuesdays, 2:30 – 4:00 pm)
- Striplin (Tuesdays, 7:00 – 8:00 am)
Way of the Cross
Way of the Cross is an interdenominational ministry that engages the poor in our area. Every Thursday morning, MeadowBrook sends teams of people to prepare and serve a hot lunch to those who are hungry in our community and to lead a Bible study.
