Our Mission and Vision
Transforming students by raising their awareness of urban issues and mobilizing them to live out the incarnational gospel in cities around the world.
Empowered by the Gospel, Global Urban Perspectives seeks to invite students to love by learning and listening in urban communities. Through immersive experiences and robust dialogue, we aim to deconstruct misconceptions, and in their stead, foster an informed imagination of the beauty and depth of urban spaces.

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." Hebrews 10:23-25
