Program areas at TUA

National Media Outreach - The expositional presentation of God's Word is the first and highest priority of our ministry. We are dedicated to restoring hope and transforming lives in individuals, families, churches and communities through the proclamation and application of the Word of God. Radio - The Urban Alternative is able to reach over 2 million people each week in the United States as we air on over 1,500+ radio outlets, as well as impact lives in 130+ countries. Television - The Urban Alternative's national network of TV stations provides the potential to reach more than 2 million households each week. In addition, this network allows us to reach around the globe. Internet - Each month, The Urban Alternative's website receives 150,000+ unique visitors, many of whom download spiritual and biblical resources. Over the past five years, there have been more than 53,000,000 sermon downloads and 12,000,000 digital views of sermons online. Additionally, there have been more than 16,000,000 launches of the Tony Evans app. Speaking Engagements & Conferences - The Urban Alternative partners with our radio networks and stations around the country to set up strategic events to further the teaching of God's Word through radio rallies, listener events, and pastor appreciation events. Through this proclamation of God's Word, we are seeing the equipping and transformational work of the Holy Spirit in countless lives. As those lives are transformed, families, churches, communities and ultimately our nation will be transformed.
Local Communities Reach: The Urban Alternative impacts local communities through the strategic training and equipping of pastors, pastors' wives and lay leaders in churches and non-profit organizations. We do this through Kingdom Agenda Pastors, Pastors' Wives Ministry, the National Church Adopt-a-School Initiative, and the Tony Evans Training Center. The Kingdom Agenda Pastors (KAP) provides a viable network for like-minded pastors who embrace the Kingdom Agenda philosophy. Pastors have the opportunity to go deeper with Dr. Tony Evans as they are given greater biblical knowledge, practical applications, and resources to impact individuals, families, churches, and communities. Pastors' Wives Ministry (PWM) provides counsel, encouragement, and spiritual resources for pastors' wives as they serve with their husbands in the ministry. A primary focus of the ministry is the KAP Summit that offers senior pastors' wives a safe place to reflect, renew, and relax along with training in personal development, spiritual growth, and care for their emotional and physical well-being. National Church Adopt-A-School Initiative (NCAASI) prepares churches across the country to impact communities by using public schools as the primary vehicle for affecting positive social change in urban youth and families. Leaders of churches, school districts, faith-based organizations, and other nonprofit organizations are equipped with the knowledge and tools to forge partnerships and build strong social service delivery systems. NCAASI training conferences have been conducted for thousands of pastors and church leaders. In addition, we have created online training that provides greater access to facilitate the growth and expansion of this ministry. The Tony Evans Training Center (TETC), launched in August 2017, provides educational programming. It is based on the ministry philosophy of Dr. Tony Evans as expressed through the Kingdom Agenda's five core subjects: Theology, Individual, Family, Church, and Society. Completing these courses will both equip and prepare students to serve through the church or non-profit setting in a spirit of excellence and accuracy. The Director of Course Development is leading the development of 10 to 12 new courses per year. The number of new students has grown to over 600. Through these ministries, more than 10,000 church leaders and more than 18,000 community impact leaders have been trained in the last five years.
