Caring for Our Community Through Wellness, Encouragement, and Connection

At Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church, we believe caring for our neighbors includes caring for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit.

Through Community Health Fairs and wellness-focused events, we seek to provide encouragement, practical support, helpful resources, and opportunities for healthy living for neighbors in Pleasant Grove, western Birmingham, and the surrounding community.

These events bring together healthcare professionals, community organizations, volunteers, and church members to offer wellness education, screenings, fellowship, and compassionate care in a welcoming environment.

As a church, we desire to be a Beacon of Light by connecting faith, encouragement, learning, wellness, and community support in meaningful ways.

Why We Host Health Fairs

Health fairs create opportunities to:

  • Encourage healthy living
  • Offer practical wellness resources
  • Provide community support and connection
  • Share educational information
  • Help neighbors access helpful services
  • Promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being
  • Build relationships within the community

These gatherings are designed to be welcoming, informative, encouraging, and accessible for people of all ages.

We are thankful for the healthcare professionals, organizations, volunteers, and community partners who help make these events possible.
