BMBA is excited to have Discovery Clubs as a ministry serving young children and youth in the Birmingham Metro area. Discovery Clubs take free, after-school Bible clubs to children on public school campuses. The ministry has two dedicated staff members: Rachel Moore, Discovery Clubs Director, and Carol Gargus, Ministry Coordinator.

Each weekly club hour consists of:

• Social time

• Praise through music

• Memory Verse activity

• 15 minute Bible lesson

• Small group mentoring

The churches of the Birmingham Metro Baptist Association can help the mission of Discovery Clubs in three ways:

1. Become a mentor

2. Consider a financial donation

3. Offer prayer support

First, Discovery Clubs is always looking for volunteers passionate about teaching young children about Jesus and sharing the Gospel with them. Hundreds of children will gather to hear the Gospel presented in Discovery Clubs this fall. Whatever your gifts, you can make a difference in the lives of children by giving one hour a week for 23 weeks. This mission field needs you as a mentor! If you would like to volunteer at any of these locations listed above, please get in touch with Carol Gargus at 205-941-9852 to schedule training, or you can email her at carol@discoveryclubs.org. All past mentors will need to be retrained to mentor this year.

Second, if you are unable to mentor at this time, there are equally important, ways in which you can help Discovery Clubs reach children with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The ministry is now under the leadership of the Child Evangelism Fellowship and is no longer receiving funds from Jimmie Hale Mission. Because of this, they are relying solely on donations from those who wish to help them keep their mission going. If you would like to donate to Discovery Clubs financially, you can send a check to Discovery Clubs, 1449 Medical Park Dr. S., Birmingham, AL 35213 Attn: Rachel Moore.

And third, they also welcome your prayers for Discovery Clubs. You can pray for their staff, mentors, the children they teach, and the schools that have partnered with them.

Rachel and Carol would like to thank everyone for your support over the years! You are a blessing to them as they strive to be a blessing to others.

Discovery Clubs is located on the first floor of the BMBA building at 1449 Medical Park Drive S, Birmingham, AL 35213. You may contact them at (205)941-9852 or by email at carol@discoveryclubs.org. For more information, please visit discoveryclubs.org.
