Who We Are
This is Who We Are
As Jesus-loving teachers and mentors inside and outside of prison, The Urban Ministry Institute of Colorado, offers affordable seminary and leadership development to every called-out leader who desires to attend. We do this through our Capstone seminary program which is part of the network of World Impact’s The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI) and additional partnership courses and locally-developed initiatives. Our goal is to assist pastors and leaders in your desire to grow and serve among those who live in some of the hardest fields: our high-poverty neighborhoods, jail, prison and among those impacted by homelessness. Its statement of faith follows the Nicene Creed from 325 AD.
Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him? James 2:5
