About Birmingham
		The Birmingham metropolitan area now has a population of about 920,000, and is growing ever more diverse economically, socially, and culturally.  With Mercedes and Honda now running automotive manufacturing plants to the west and east of Birmingham, and the emergence of UAB in biotechnology and healthcare, Birmingham has moved away from the dependence on the steel industry that once was the foundation for its economy.  At the same time, there has been an influx of Hispanic and Asian immigrants, and the area is more multicultural than before.    This has implications for the Church in that there are more residents of the area than before who may not have the same religious background as long-time residents.  Indeed, due to this and the increasing secularization of American society in general, we have a greater mission field here at home than we have ever had.  May the Lord of the harvest use us to win souls to HIm. Birmingham Attractions: McWane Center: This is a captivating science museum and IMAX theater that will certainly thrill the young (and young at heart). http://www.mcwane.org Birmingham Botanical Gardens: The Gardens are one of the best things about Birmingham and compare favorably to botanical gardens in cities across North America.  See what they have to offer at http://www.bbgardens.org/ The Birmingham Zoo: Learn about the many animals and enjoy watching them in the various exhibits at the Zoo; their site is at http://www.birminghamzoo.com/ Birmingham Museum of Art: This is the largest municipal art museum in the Southeast, and has an extensive collection of 21,000 works.  http://www.artsbma.org Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame: Learn about the rich history of jazz in Alabama! http://www.jazzhall.com/jazz/
