Urban Ministry Conference

“What’s Happening in Urban Ministry in the Michigan District, LCMS?”

A wonderful group of Jesus’ followers called ’55 ALIVE’ asked that question about a year ago. In an effort to answer them, the 2019 Urban Ministry Conference was birthed. On Monday, September 16, 2019, Camp Restore, Detroit will host this special event. Nearly a dozen Michigan District-sponsored urban ministries will share about their efforts to serve their communities in the name of Jesus through short (10-15 minute) presentations. You are invited to the campus of Mt. Calvary, Detroit to enjoy lunch and discover what God is doing through His people in Detroit, Lansing, Flint, South Macomb, and Benton Harbor. You will also learn how you can participate! Doors will open at 11 a.m. and lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m., followed by presentations. The program is scheduled to end at 3 p.m. Secure parking is available.
