Our church is the gold thread that binds us together.

We gather here. We worship here. We grow together here.

“Giving is the first initiative of God and the enduring duty of all who follow Christ.” -Rev. Dr. Charles S.G. Boayue, Jr. (John 3:16, Acts 20:35)

Are you making a difference?

This is the time of year when we focus on our Operating Budget. We gather to empower our church. The 2026 Stewardship Campaign goal is $2.8M, this amount is required to meet all operational plans that begin this January. Please complete your pledge by clicking the button below.

Consider this to be the year that you increase your giving.

Every. Dollar. Helps.

At Birmingham and Berkley First, we gather in worship, fellowship, and service—lifting our voices, sharing our gifts, and living out God’s love. Your generosity makes this possible. Stewardship keeps our ministries alive, our programs thriving, and our doors open to all who seek Him. Like a gold thread in a beautiful fabric, each of us plays a part in strengthening and uniting our church family. God’s Spirit weaves us together—binding our stories, our service, and our faith into something strong and beautiful. This year, we ask you to give more than last year, so together we can reach further, serve more, and strengthen our church community.
With gratitude, Tom Aubrey, Jill Brouhard, and Suzanne Cory
