A national conference addressing issues critical for urban congregations in all denominations.
Reinventing the Urban Church
The cities of our nation are the context for both crisis and encouragement, for division and healing, for isolation and community. At the center of the city is the urban church: an anchor of hope, a symbol of the “City of God.” However, many city churches of all denominations are yearning for congregational inspiration and renewed mission.
This conference intends to be a learning laboratory for building up the urban body of Christ. Participants will share the compelling vocation for urban clergy and urban congregations.
The conference will include nationally known keynote speakers, plenary discussions, reflections on the biblical Word in the City, pilgrimages to imaginative urban ministries in Washington, and practical proposals for developing spirituality and servant ministry in an urban congregation.
Who Should Attend
The conference is intended for church leaders of all denominations. We hope to extend a welcome to an ecumenical spectrum of clergy as well as to laypersons involved in urban ministry.
