Lincoln Village Ministry, started in November 2002,  is a broad-based ministry located in the Lincoln Mill Village area of Huntsville, Alabama.

This ministry, guided by Mark Stearns, Director of Mercy Ministries at Southwood Presbyterian Church (PCA), seeks to impact the residents of this community through many avenues. The first stages of the ministry began in Lincoln Elementary School. We began to provide financial and personnel support to this school.  A tutoring program was developed allowing us to come alongside the school and provide additional help in  improving the state required standardized test scores which are to be raised for each school year.

After being involved with the students for a short time, we realized that we needed to expand our vision to include other areas of the community. For this reason, we have begun to be involved in as many areas of community life as possible. We now provide help in meeting medical, dental, legal, clothing and nutrition needs. Lincoln Village Preservation Corporation, the guiding non-profit entity for housing, has purchased approximately thirty-five housing units that are in the process of being renovated. We also attempt to help secure employment for the families we are in contact with.

Since its inception, Lincoln Village Ministry has enjoyed the partnership and support of a large number of other churches, both locally and from around the Southeast. We have ten to fifteen different churches representing many different denominations working side by side in this effort.

Everything that flows from Lincoln Village Ministry provides opportunities to present and live out the gospel to all we come in contact with. Although our focus is to minister to both the physical and the spiritual needs of those we meet, we have received the richest of His blessings through the privileges of serving our neighbors and being the hands and feet of Christ.
