The church building was destroyed by two fires, once in 1908 and 1938. The building was rebuilt and has been an anchor in the community.</p> <h2 id="our-mission-and-vision">Our Mission and vision</h2> <p><strong>OUR MISSION</strong> is to reflect God’s love for every person in the world by uniting hands that serve, minds that grow, and hearts that love to embody Christ&rsquo;s transformative power in our community and beyond <strong>OUR VISION</strong> To be a place where all are welcomed and know the love, grace, and peace of Christ so it may be shared with the world.</p> https://papermod.hooverfirst.org/contact-us/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://papermod.hooverfirst.org/contact-us/ <p><strong>Phone: 205-822-8099</strong></p> <p><strong>Email us at:</strong> <a href="mailto:office@fumchoover.org">office@fumchoover.org</a></p> <p><strong>1934 Patton Chapel Rd.
