An Urban Experience That
Equips in Transferable
Evangelism Principles

Urban Centers have been training followers of Jesus in effective hands-on evangelism for over 20 years with locations in two Metropolitan areas: Philadelphia and Los Angeles.

We offer unique life-on-life training sessions on how to start conversations with others, how to tell your story, and how to share your faith in simple and life giving ways, using the urban areas as a practice field. We also provide practical, easy-to-use evangelism tools and resources that make engaging with others simple and effective and provide youth leaders with experiences and inspiration they can bring home to their own local churches.

Our field experiences make our time together practical and profitable by immediately putting the lessons learned through the training sessions into practice.

An Urban Experience That Equips in
Transferrable Evangelism Principles

Urban Centers have been training followers of Jesus in effective hands-on evangelism for over 20 years with locations in Philadelphia and Los Angeles!

We offer unique life-on-life training sessions on how to start conversations, how to tell your story, and how to share your faith in simple and life giving ways. We also provide practical, easy-to-use evangelism tools that make engaging with others simple. Our field experiences make our time together practical and profitable by immediately putting the lessons learned through the training sessions into practice!

While the Urban Centers operate year-round, spring and summer are the busiest months with many churches and schools visiting as a domestic mission trip training opportunity for students (and adults!) where they learn to live out their faith locally when they return home. Groups vary in size, and each trip is customized to meet the goals and objectives of the sending church or school. Maybe there is a Life Group, Small Group, College Group or Youth Group from your church or a group of students from your school that could benefit from a training mission trip to a Momentum Urban Center.
