Mentoring

One-on-one mentoring will help you navigate the challenges of ministry in the city. Perhaps you have been wounded, betrayed, broken by some ministry experience. A mentoring relationship could help and hasten your healing. Benefit from a pioneering urban leader to help maximize your life and service in the city.

Leadership Development

Grow your skill sets as an urban leader. New challenges will continue to impact your family and threaten to stall your ministry. The difference between surviving and thriving is a leadership skill set you deliberately pursue and mature in guided by knowledgeable coaching.

Discipleship

Experience discipleship with an urban ministry veteran, from a biblical urban worldview, relevant to your ministry context. Frankly, most discipleship and resources used are from a white, suburban perspective that severely hinders urban effectiveness. We can train you and equip you to train others to thrive as fruit-bearing followers of Jesus in our urbanized world.

Education

Cities run the world. You are impacted by urbanization wherever you live and serve Christ. In person and internet facilitated teaching and preaching, along with resources both print and recorded are available. We can help equip you and those you serve for fruitfulness and impact.
