Along with several Asbury members, Buddy Coker has been tutoring and mentoring kids in West End as part of Urban Ministry’s WE Learn program. But he missed a week recently and someone noticed. “There was a student who thought I was coming that particular day and he said to Brooke, ‘“Where’s Mr. Buddy?”’ Well, I went back the next week and when he saw me, he lit up. I said, ‘“I told you I’d be back,”’ and he smiled. It made me feel great.”
Asbury plans to continue mentoring students Tuesdays this summer starting June 14 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Learn how you can help kids at WE Learn at an orientation this Monday, June 6th, from 9-11 at Urban Ministry.

The work behind these family-focused initiatives happens within Asbury’s walls, so it couldn’t be easier to serve. Interested in leading a mission of the month? Email Missions Coordinator Brooke Jackson.

When Asbury UMC was established in 1986, its founding members and clergy decided that on top of the 10% it gives to The United Methodist Church for ministries and outreach, Asbury would give 10% more to Birmingham and its community partners through its Missions in Action program.
In 2021 alone, more than $890,000 left Asbury UMC to help others through organizations like Prodigal Pottery, The Wellhouse, Shepherds Fold, and more. Learn more about the programs Asbury backs and choose one to support.
