Thank You for Visiting!

Right now, Urban Christian Ministries is in a season of rest and transformation.

Urban Christian Ministries: A Legacy of Transformation
For 54 years, Urban Christian Ministries (UCM) has been a beacon of hope in our community, empowering youth and young adults through the love of Christ. Our work has transformed countless lives.

Under the leadership of our new Executive Servant Leader Rev. Denise Walden-Glenn we are looking toward a brighter future. We are diligently working behind the scenes, taking this time to prayerfully evaluate the ministry and all of our programming. We are seeking to discern what God has in store for UCM in this season and beyond. Just as nature rejuvenates, we are embracing this time to evolve and grow, with the goal of continuing our transformative work in the community we love.

We appreciate your patience as we undergo this process of reflection and renewal.
