For more than 50 years, we’ve affirmed the call and vocation of local urban church pastors and ministry leaders who want to transform their cities through the Gospel.
We have a vision to see a healthy church in every community of poverty.
At World Impact, we know that many church leaders struggle to sustain ministry impact and grow healthy churches in urban neighborhoods because they do not have the training they need. We know this because we’ve been in your shoes for five decades.
Our training is designed for the urban context and empowers leaders to build healthy churches in communities of diversity and poverty. When urban church leaders are empowered to own and lead their own ministries, individuals, families, and neighborhoods flourish.
Our goal is to reach under-resourced urban pastoral leaders and empower them with affordable, accessible, and effective training. We do this by partnering with local churches, ministry networks, and denominations to meet them where they are.
We come alongside local churches and organizations that are working in communities of poverty.
We commission trained leaders to go back to their cities or countries of origin and create new ministries.
We connect urban church leaders to the training they need to fulfill their calling.
We believe the church is the hope of the world, and we know the local church strongly influences the quality of life in urban neighborhoods.
That’s why we are laser-focused on healthy churches in every community of poverty.
When we train urban pastors and leaders through our five core ministry programs, we help transform communities across the world.
