Memphis Urban Ministry has a heart for our city.  Our city is one with a long history of struggle. Years of racial injustices have segregated our neighborhoods, our schools, and even our churches.  Poverty has turned parts of our city into abandoned wastelands.  Urban renewal now threatens to inflict even more turmoil in the lives of the poor.  There is no doubt that the struggles still exist in our city, but we believe that hope can be found in the coming Kingdom of our Creator.  In this Kingdom, we see God's mercy, justice, and love take root in the forgotten places of our city.  We seek to experience the Kingdom of God right here in Memphis, Tennessee.

One way we strive for this is through Christian Community Development.  We seek to:

• Listen to the needs of our community

• Develop the assets already in our neighborhoods

• Promote an environment of racial, economic, and generational reconciliation

• Create opportunities for the poor to regain the dignity of work

• Be advocates for the poor and voiceless

• Reconcile people with their Creator and with Creation
