"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."  - Matthew 22:37-39

Loving our neighbor means more than giving away stuff.  Our neighbors in the city need more than our money or our material resources.  Our neighbors in the city need advocates, listeners, and friends. 

Memphis Urban Ministry practices our Neighborhood Values by:

• Maintaining a constant presence in the neighborhood

• Engaging in neighborhood associations (Watch groups, Tenants Associations, etc)

• Participating in local collaboratives

• Establishing and developing local partnerships

• Developing indigenous leaders

• The simple act of becoming friends
