“Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
—Jeremiah 29:7 (niv)
The next generation of city dwellers is innovative, entrepreneurial, and focused on rapidly changing communities. Urban ministries need to know and embrace the context around them, including the multicultural, multi-religious dynamics that shape the communities we serve for Christ. Gordon-Conwell’s Boston campus, known as the Campus for Urban Ministerial Education (CUME), is an international leader in providing urban ministerial education that is theologically rich and culturally relevant.
Please note that as of December 6, 2022, masks are required in public spaces on campus. Read more.
