NEW HOME SALES PROFESSIONALS New homes are a dime a dozen. Well, perhaps more than a dime. But the truth is undeniable.

New homes can be found anywhere and everywhere. So what makes one community of new homes more alive than another? To take inspiration from John Donne: “No man is an island... we are part of the main.� New homes that are truly alive are those that do not exist as islands in a sea of sameness, but instead live connected to an organic continent of a life-affirming diversity of people and architecture, activities and traditions. New homes that thrive have been planted in the fertile soil of authenticity, built in places where people can thrive. The communities we help create are always built around the idea that people thrive when they live in places where they can grow emotionally, physically, spiritually, intellectually and financially.

PHILANTHROPY The Jimmie Hale Mission has been an integral thread in the fabric of Birmingham, and beyond, for more than 75 years, but many may still not be aware of just how large our footprint is in the area.

The Shepura Men’s Center, our oldest and largest campus, focuses on addiction recovery and homelessness by helping residents come to terms with the underlying cause of these burdens.

We also provide the education and training necessary for residents to obtain and maintain employment, secure housing and become self-sufficient and productive members of society once again.

Jessie’s Place, located in the heart of downtown Birmingham, is a safe haven for women and children that offers Christ-centered support and counseling to help encourage, strengthen and empower those enduring life’s hardships.

Our Royal Pines facility in Hayden, Alabama, is a rural, 40-bed residential addiction recovery center for men. There, we provide an immersive environment where individuals are equipped with the Godly tools and training needed to overcome addiction, restore hope and build a better tomorrow.

“We want the Birmingham community to know how incredibly thankful we are for their continued support,” said Mission executive director Michael Coleman. “Everything we do is bathed in the mercy and compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ and it’s only through your prayers and participation that we are able to continue to helping transform the lives of those in need.”
