Beloved Community Church (UCC) is an open and affirming, vibrant church comprised of mission-oriented congregants in Birmingham, Alabama. Our small, diverse congregation is honored and proud to serve as sanctuary for people who have not felt at home in traditional churches while encouraging people from all walks of life to grow in relationship with one another and with God.

We welcome all people who join us in worship as our Beloveds and have a regular attendance of approximately 40 people. Sunday evening worship includes inspiring pastoral teaching and soulful music from our Beloved Orchestra followed by food and fellowship.

Whether it be through our Care Team Ministry that provides support for congregants in need, our Brown Bag Ministry that feeds 50+ families each month, our Family Promise Ministry that helps provide food and shelter for homeless families, or our willingness to stand in solidarity with immigrants seeking better lives, Beloved cares about our congregants and our community in word and deeds.

We are looking for a teaching pastor, who is informed and responsive to community needs, able to coordinate and energize lay leaders to fulfill mission responsibilities, able to maintain administrative duties and assist in growing the church, all while embodying our Beloved Community Church covenant:

With the help of God

We will walk together

In the ways of Jesus,

Creating a community

And striving for a world

Where no one is an outcast

And no one is a stranger,

Where all people are

Celebrated as precious children of God,

Where we joyfully share

With one another

Hope for the living,

Comfort for the dying,

Dignity for those in struggle,

And freedom to ask and to

Seek and to grow more fully

Into the persons

We were created to be.
