Urban Ministry Associates is committed to engaging urban centers for asset based community development, grassroots leadership mobilization and training.

Urban ministry is not new to the church. The Pauline missionary journey was primarily to the populations centers. Moreover, the church grew in the culturally and economically neglected or so called "people on the fringes."
The church, at its best, always addresses the physical, psychological and spiritual needs of all people. The assumption here is that "needs have no boundaries;" the wealthy is just as needy as the poor. Thus, the church challenges the wealthy to serve the poor and live humbly and sacrificially. It challenges the poor to faithfully serve and earn their living by their labors. This is rooted in Jesus' command to "love others as yourself."
Urban ministry Associates is committed to the proclamation of the Gospel to all people. It also will intentionally engage the reach and the poor, the church and the business communities so that Jesus will be proclaimed as the Lord of all. As such, we will contribute to the larger mission of the church by all we do and say, while transforming our cities by building people and developing our cities one community at a time.
Urban Ministry Associates is a platform for urban ministry experts to share ideas, engage in a dialogue and learn from others to better serve their communities.
