Who is UC for?
Committed Christians aged 18 and over,
who want to serve God during a gap year or want broad practical experience
before or after theological training. It is also suitable for those wanting
to test a calling to Christian work. We will interview suitable applicants
and will normally take up to ten people a year.
When
does UC start and finish?
It runs from September to July, with
mid-term breaks and main holidays.
What is our goal?
As a Mission we want to reach as many
people as possible with the Gospel, but our main aim for everyone taking up
this 'Urban Challenge' is that their spiritual life will be deepened. We are
sure, also, that their faith and trust in God will be strengthened and that
their gifts will be discovered and developed. There are regular times for
prayer, worship and teaching; a special mid-winter retreat; and pastoral
support throughout the year.
