The Basement at the Historic Boutwell Auditorium kicks off in the heart of downtown Birmingham
Birmingham, AL – Whosoever Ministries –Whosoever Ministries today announced that it will be launching it’s first ever event at the Boutwell Auditorium. Whosever Ministries is the largest youth movement in America. The Basement is a popular ministry event in Birmingham, AL led by evangelist Matt Pitt that attracts thousands of people each service.
Pitt launched The Basement in 2004 after a shape-up-or-ship-out ultimatum from his parents and what he describes as “a dramatic encounter with God in his parent’s basement.” Described by some as part church service, concert, and club, The Basement attracts thousands of people from all walks of life to Birmingham’s Church of the Highlands on the last Tuesday of every month to hear messages from Pitt along with live Christian Hip Hop music performed by local artists and some of the biggest names in Christian music.
“A lot of teenagers and young adults are turned off by religion, and I know because I was one of them,” says Pitt. “I want to reach people who are struggling– just like I was – and who feel like they’ve been forsaken. My past should have led me straight to jail or the grave. If God can save me, He can save anyone. We’re going to bring young people the truth of the Gospel and at the same time, have fun while we’re doing it. “
The ministry also offers programs for, high school and college students in the Birmingham area and has gained widespread support throughout Birmingham for tackling tough issues such as teen violence and drug use, school drop out rates, and binge drinking among college students. Whosoever Ministries also works closely with local and national congregations and pastors to curb the tide of young people leaving the church. Whosoever Ministries is also taking The Basement on the road, first stops are Atlanta and Myrtle Beach, For more information visit http://www.thebasementonline.com .
