Urban Centers
An Urban Experience That
Equips in Making Jesus
make sense to others
Momentum Urban Centers provide students and adults with a mission trip experience that lasts well beyond your trip dates. Come join us at our Los Angeles Urban Center or our Philadelphia Urban Center and experience the impact you can have when you see each day as an opportunity to make Jesus make sense to others.
When you take a mission trip to one of our Urban Centers, your group will experience two foundational elements:
1) Your group will receive dynamic training on how to make Jesus make sense in our culture today and begin to see our everyday relationships as opportunities to be relational with the Gospel.
2) Your group will participate in hands-on ministry each day of your trip with opportunities to hear real life stories from people living in the city with the goal of sparking significant spiritual interactions as you connect with others.
Our mission trip experiences combine these two elements so that your group can serve and impact the city together and then return to your local community to continue living out the good news of Jesus with those around you.
An Urban Experience That Equips in
Making Jesus Make Sense to Others
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!
We realize that every group is unique and at different stages in their relationship with Jesus, which is why we customize our mission trip opportunities to help you build momentum in your ministry. Click on the Request More Information button and one of our Urban Center staff will reach out to you to start a conversation, hear your mission trip goals, and discover the best way to build a mission trip experience for your group.
We partner with Youth Groups, Small Groups, College Groups, Adult Groups, Church Leadership Groups, and much more.
