Brighter Day Ministries, formerly A.P. Shaw~Congress Heights United Methodist Church, is a growing multi-ethnic church engaged in local and global mission projects. We are a body of believers who know that no single one of us is complete without the gift of salvation given to us freely by Jesus Christ. Together we are strive to be more like the Savior, Jesus Christ, and to light the way for others to come to know Him. Our goals are the same as Jesus Christ to serve and reach a lost and hurting world, bringing healing to wounded hearts of those in our community and world with the love and Word of God.
