Thriving exists to equip urban missionaries for comprehensive global urban ministry through, for, and from the local church. We are biblically based, theologically rich, historically rooted, Christ-centered, Spirit-guided, justice-oriented, missiologically driven, and tailored to the needs of people of color in our efforts to proclaim and practice the multifaceted wisdom of God for the underserved areas of cities and towns. For us, we want to promote the growth of scholarly practitioners for undeserved urban environments by training leaders to have a robust love for Jesus and people!
(1Chron 12:32, Micah 6:8, Matthew 23:23, Col 1:16, 2 Tim 2:15, Acts 4:31, Col 4:2-6, Acts 2:47)
Our focus is to connect with underserved communities to help provide robust theological acumen from the scriptures that creatively and contextually prepares God's people for service; while at the same time focusing on the centrality of Jesus. We want to equip and support those dedicated to urban ministry to grow outstanding character, competence, commitment, and compatibility to serving the their city and the local church. Through functional events, media, and online tools we will work to equip leaders to serve well as they continue to grow and develop more and more leaders for the building up of other leaders for Christ's kingdom.
