About
The Ministry in the City HUB is a national initiative that supports the flourishing of pastors, congregations, faith-based organizations, and theological education focused on cities. We are cultivating a learning network, collecting and sharing resources, and building capacity through invitational grants.
Our mission is to gather and connect generations of leaders concerned with the future of Christian faith in our cities by sharing resources, ideas, and practices for life-giving ministry across North America.
HUB Summer Camp 2023 participants engage in a silent Method Kit conversation to identify and unpack issues in ministry in the city that resonate with those in the room.
Collaborative Seed grantee Noemia Boccato partners with Storefront Church (NYC) to bring renewal to marginalized neighbors and care for the Earth through art.
A small group member shares an important object that tells her story during an annual HUB fall convening (2022).
