Center for Urban Biblical Ministry

Courses are offered in collaboration with geneva college to equip students for christian Ministry, business and community services. A total of 30 students were enrolled during the fiscal year.

The Urban leadership initiative (uli) program provides students with the fullest possible exposure to the Urban communities in which they minister, serve, and live. Ulis programs seminars, conferences, workshops, and forums are designed to encourage and equip students for participation in a variety of interdisciplinary and interdenominational christian ministries, faith-based agencies, community organizations, government agencies, and businesses. Uli uses collaborations, internships, and mentoring relationships to expand the students education outside of the classroom. Many of ulis programs are available to leaders who are not students at cubm but are involved in Urban leadership positions. Urban heroes: pittsburgh Urban heroes project started in 2010 to recognize and honor western Pennsylvania residents who serve their communities with distinction and model servant leadership. These individuals help others, making their communities better and more meaningful every day with little or no recognition. A grant from the multicultural arts initiative helped us launch the project: Urban heroes: stories of ordinary pittsburgh residents who do extraordinary things. Every two years we tell their amazing stories in a book available to the public for purchase. Please visit our our pittsburgh Urban heroes website httpwwwpittsburghurbanheroescom to read or listen to the stories of both current and previous Urban heroes. You can also purchase our latest Urban heroes publication or nominate an Urban hero from your community. Urban leadership initiative international (ulii): educates students and the public about the trends, challenges, and opportunities in the Ministry world outside of the Urban area. Ulii sponsors workshops, classes, and missions trips that provide individuals with firsthand experience in cross-cultural Ministry. By doing so, ulii aims to develop global leaders who are equipped to face the challenges of the 21st century.
