Description:
This experience explores an intentional effort to create a new cultural reality in urban congregations in St. Paul. It is not about race or ethnicity, but about an introduction to the intentional development of urban ministry culture and disciplines of church based community organizing in a diverse, urban multicultural context. Site visits with pastors and lay leaders in St. Paul Area Synod Urban Strategy congregations. Examine the community, meet neighborhood residents and ride with community leaders, while exploring models for pastoral leadership.

During your experience, please plan for DAILY FULL-TIME (9 to 5), plus Saturdays, Sundays, and some evening participation.
