Building relationships, meeting needs in crisis & rebuilding lives.

Homelessness, hunger & addiction threaten the lives of so many of our neighbors in Birmingham.

Urban Purpose, a Christ-centered ministry, empowers homeless & hurting individuals to reach their full potential by offering life-changing relationships & services.

People served by Urban Purpose are met where they are, have access to resources for mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing, and experience Christ’s love every step of the way.

Changing lives is possible.

Whether you’re most comfortable as a prayer warrior, serving our homeless friends as the hands and feet of Christ, or contributing financially to help us grow, we need you in our ministry!

Ready to help the homeless & hurting?

“Urban Purpose helped me get my feet on the ground when no one else would. They’ve given me a new lease on life to grow and become a more responsible member of society.”

— Martin, BuildUP for Men
