Who We Are

Our goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where adult students can improve their English skills while experiencing the genuine care we have for them. At the same time, we seek to share the message of God’s love through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, fostering spiritual growth alongside language learning.  It is our desire and prayer that each person in our program 

  • grows in English language proficiency,

  •  develops loving community with students, teachers and other volunteers, and First Baptist Church of Montgomery

  • grows in relationship with Jesus Christ 

Who we serve

We serve international adults who have either just moved to Montgomery or who have lived here for many years.  We serve adults who plan to stay in Montgomery any length of time: a few weeks to a few years.
