More Than a Meetup

This isn’t just networking—it’s a chance to reignite your purpose in Christ.

We’re gathering local missionary disciples who want to build authentic friendships and be encouraged to live on mission within their communities.

Whether you’re new to the area or seeking to reignite your faith alongside others, this event is for you.

A Glimpse of the Night

Connect Birmingham is a gathering for local Catholics who want to get to know others in the area and be inspired to live the faith.

Meet other hot coals

You weren’t made to follow Christ alone. Whether you’re new or have called it home for years, connect with other alumni and disciples who are striving to live the mission in everyday life.

Pray together

We’ll turn to the Lord together in prayer, asking for His grace and timing as we seek to build a culture of mission in our city.

Catch the Vision

Hear how FOCUS alumni are forming a Community of Mission—a group of missionary disciples committed to living out the Gospel and supporting one another in their apostolates.

Food & Fellowship

Come connect and enjoy light appetizers and drinks on us. Laid-back, joy-filled, and rooted in purpose—this is what mission looks like in community.

FOCUS Alumni | Birmingham

Connect, share, and leave ready to live the mission together.
