West End Hills Missionary Baptist Church, located at 1680 19th Place SW in Birmingham, Alabama, is a Colonial Revival structure built between 1959 and 1965, with its main sanctuary dedicated upon completion. The church holds significant historical importance as a center of civil rights activism, serving as a gathering place for the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights during the 1950s and 1960s under the pastoral leadership of Reverend Coleman M. Smith. Recognized for its role in the broader struggle for civil rights, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
