The mission of this ministry is to assist the church in its outreach: to offenders, ex-offenders, victims, and their respective families through contact, visitations, guidance, and training. The goal of this ministry is to faithfully lead the families God and invite them into the fold of Christianity with a church family.

The Prison Ministry meets every every 2nd Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in Room 102.

The mission of this ministry is to alleviate disparities in health care and health care resources among the underserved populations in the 12 Alabama Black Belt counties by providing medical and Christian ministry. Volunteers from Sixth Avenue partner with other community organizations and churches to provide culturally sensitive, sustainable medical services, evangelism, discipleship, and ongoing support to Black Belt counties.

Through the Angel Tree ministry, Sixth Avenue brings the love of Christ year-round to prisoners’ kids in the greater Birmingham area. Each year as the names of children are received, members make personal contact with the parent or guardian and provide Christmas gifts. They also invite the children to participate in the church’s annual Easter Egg Hunt, Vacation Bible School and the Back-to-School Rally. Members provide school supplies and extend camping opportunities to the children as well.
