What are the dates of the program?

Tuesdays from January 18–March 29, 2022. Apply now.
B-MC is a 10 week cohort (we will not meet on 3/1/22 so that people can engage with local missions conferences).

Fall dates: September 13–November 15, 2022.
Fill out our general interest form to be notified about future cohorts.

What is the time commitment for the program?

B-MC will gather on Tuesday evenings from 6:30–8:30 p.m. 

There will be some additional opportunities throughout the cohort to learn about other religions (for example, visiting a Hindu temple). We hope to connect with various local international ministries in Birmingham and to engage with internationals living in our city.

There will be some supplemental readings and assignments throughout the cohort designed to help participants better engage the various weekly discussion topics (assignments will be 30–60 mins per week).

Who can participate and what qualifications are necessary?

B-MC is looking for teachable, mature and servant hearted young professionals who have an interest in ministry and international missions. You must be a young professional or a senior in college to participate (age 21–35). This learning community is more than a 10-week Bible study. We are looking for participants who are willing to commit their time and schedule to the 10-week cohort. A desire or call to be a cross-cultural missionary is NOT a requirement to join this cohort. The content of B-MC applies to all disciples of Christ. We have space for 10 participants.

What if I can't come to all the meetings?

Much of the value of B-MC is found in the commitment of the gathered community and participation in the associated discussions. We expect participants to attend all the scheduled meetings. You will only reap from the discussions what you are willing to sow into them.

What is the size of B-MC?

We expect a community of 10 participants and 2–3 veteran missionaries and ministry leaders.

Where will the meetings be held?

Meetings will be in the homes of the B-MC leadership team and/or at a local PCA church.

Is there a fee for the program?

The program fee is $100. Scholarships are available.
The “early bird” program fee is only $50 if you apply by December 31, 2021.
