The Light of the Village is a hands-on, front-line Christian ministry located in one of Alabama's poorest and violent neighborhoods. Their mission is to share Christ's message of faith, hope and love to the inner-city through word and deed and in truth and love. Light of the Village builds relationships one at a time and meets people where they are in hopes to allow Christ to become a part of their lives. They have a private Christian school, summer and after-school programs and a gang intervention program.
