Alabama CBF 2026 Fall Gathering
Thursday, Nov 5, 2026
Mountain Brook Baptist Church

32 candles. 32 years of ministry.

This year, we’re inviting you to celebrate with us in a meaningful way—by becoming a monthly donor at $32 a month.

Like many nonprofits, our first quarter giving has fallen short of what we had hoped. And while we’ve been able to continue showing up for our partners through careful planning, we know that consistent, monthly support is what allows this work to continue and grow.

Your $32/month helps us:
• Walk alongside communities across Alabama
• Support ministers and congregations
• Invest in long-term, faithful presence where it’s needed most

If Alabama CBF has been meaningful to you, this is a simple, steady way to be part of what comes next.

Join us in celebrating 32 years—by helping sustain the work for year 33.

We're excited to welcome Rev. Lucas Dorion to the pulpit this Sunday. 🕊

Lucas serves as Coordinator of the Alabama Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Interim Pastor of Woodland Forest Church in Tuscaloosa. He carries a deep love for the local church and for the clergy who faithfully serve their communities.

This Sunday, May 17 at 9:00 AM, he'll preach from Luke 24:13-32 — We Do Not Go Alone.

This month, we’re highlighting the final Thriving Congregation trait: Holy Tenacity.

Holy tenacity means persevering in hope, grounded in the Spirit, refusing to give up in the face of challenge, and pressing on toward the abundant life promised in Christ.

Thriving congregations don’t avoid difficulty—they remain steady through it. With deep trust in God’s presence, they continue showing up, loving well, and holding onto hope even when the path is hard.
