How We Serve.

Life Night

      Young Adult Bible Study is offered at Alabama A&M University and the University of North Alabama where the Bible is taught and the Word of God in the name of Jesus Christ is explained. In our sessions, students are given the opportunity to inquire, share their thoughts, and voice any issues that they may be facing as members of our team help them find a solution.  Teachers may sometimes share personal experiences of how they’ve handled life's issues and provide insight on how problems were resolved. Each participant is reassured by leaders that Life Nights are a safe-haven.

 

Fun Facts about Life Night
  •  Grade Point Averages have improved over the last seven years.
  • Mental, Physical, Emotional, and the Spiritual health of the students has improved by 57%.
  • Snacks and meal cards are provided via our local sponsors.
  • No judgment zone. Come as you are!  We won’t bite.
  • This isn’t your average Bible Study…. We’re very unconventional!

    Annual Women's Empowerment Weekend.

    Our women empowerment weekend is an unsurpassed opportunity to meet other influential women throughout the state of Alabama.  During this time, most women receive affirmation, support, and healing from internal struggles. Connections are made throughout the weekend that often branches out to many which opens a lot of doors for women.

    Some have shared that hearing the testimonials of real life struggles and the triumphs of other women have pointed them into the right direction while preventing years of heartbreak.

    Our motivational speakers challenge the perspective, understanding, and the hearts of all participants.

    There’s nothing more exhilarating than being in a room with open-minded women who all want to better themselves.          

    Join us, every year, during the last weekend of July.
