The Church at Brook Hills

What The Church at Brook Hills does

The Church at Brook Hills is a non-profit religious organization founded in 1990, headquartered at 3145 Brook Highland Parkway in Birmingham, Alabama. It operates as a multi-generational faith community serving congregants across all life stages—preschool through legacy adults—with ministries spanning worship gatherings, small groups, biblical counseling, support programs (GriefShare, DivorceCare), ESL classes, global mission trips, and local city ministries including foster care and prison outreach. The church employs approximately 63 staff members led by Senior Pastor Matt Mason and Executive Pastor Dennis Blythe, with a pastoral team covering global missions, local disciple-making, member care, worship, and administration.

Revenue mechanics are anchored by tithes and offerings from the congregation, supplemented by tuition from the Early Learning Center (a preschool and childcare program for children aged nine months to four years, starting at $237 per week) and participant fees for short-term international mission trips (such as the $3,200 South Asia VBS trip). Most ministry programs (worship, small groups, ESL, support groups) are offered free of charge. The organization is governed by a board of elders with no parent company, investor ownership, or traditional equity structure.

The church's digital and product footprint includes the Brook Hills mobile app (iOS and Android), a sermons and media library, an original worship music catalog (Judah's Lion, Joy & Wonder, Found), a downloadable resource library, and integration with RightNow Media, Apple Podcasts, and ServiceReef for mission trip management. Distribution combines on-campus worship services (9:00am and 10:35am Sundays), online livestream, satellite ESL programming at partner locations, and short-term mission deployment to international sites including South Asia.

• Vineyard Church Birmingham: Non-denominational evangelical congregation in the Birmingham metro with comparable worship services, small groups, and family/children's ministries — direct local competitor.

Others

• GriefShare: Network organization that provides the 13-week grief recovery curriculum that Brook Hills runs locally. Comparable as the program operator and content provider rather than a competing church.
