Mission Care


What is Mission Care?

Mission Care is
a year-long urban internship. Young leaders can come and mature in their faith as they learn to live their lives fully devoted to the Kingdom of God!

Participants move into diverse, low-income neighborhoods, loving their neighbors through  wholistic ministries such as after-school tutoring, sports, mentoring, Bible studies and more. 


Urban Ministry Classes

Program Objectives

1. "Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength!"

Our weekly classes are purposed to deeply challenge each participant's worldview, culture and faith journey so that our hearts break for that which breaks the heart of God!

Using interactive projects, debates and small group discussions, class topics cover:

 *   A Biblical Overview: God's Heart for Justice & the Poor

 *   Understanding Poverty
   
 *   Child Development in Poverty

 *   And Much More...

2. "Love your neighbor as yourself!"

Participants will serve 8-10 hours leading programs for at-risk youth, learning to live out their faith radically in service to the "least of these".
