Shady Grove Missionary Baptist

About this church

Shady Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Bessemer, Alabama, holds its main Worship Hour on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. Baptist Training Union and Sunday School meet at 9:15 a.m. beforehand, and Children's Church runs during the worship hour in the lower sanctuary for children roughly ages 3 to 12. Services combine praise and worship with Bible-based, Christ-centered teaching, and worship is also available through a live stream. The church notes that times can change because of weather, holidays or other circumstances, so calling the office at 205-426-1941 before a first visit is a good idea.

Midweek, a prayer service and Bible study meets Wednesday at 6:00 p.m., followed by choir rehearsal at 7:00. The church lists a long roster of ministries, including men's and women's groups, seniors, ushers, a missionary society, praise dance, puppets and an audio and video team. Benevolence and scholarship ministries reach into the wider community. A child development center called TEAM for Children operates weekdays at a separate address on Arlington Avenue, offering infant, preschool, before- and after-school care and a summer camp. The worship address is 2600 Fairfax Avenue.
