“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.
