History of the Ensley Church of Christ
The Ensley Church of Christ (ECOC) was established in the 1930’s by the late Evangelist Marshall Keeble responsible for the rise of Black Churches of Christ in the South.
Our congregation is one of the earliest African American Churches of Christ in Alabama and the first African American Church of Christ in Birmingham. ECOC is the seed for all African American Churches of Christ in Birmingham. We are a viable, progressive, and spiritual Birmingham 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
We are located at 1001 Dugan Avenue, Birmingham, AL 35214
Mission Statement of the Ensley Church of Christ
Here at the Ensley Church of Christ, our vision is to reach more people for Christ with Luke 4:18 as our mission statement: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.”
