Urbanrevs is an adaptation of the hugely successful and recent community ministry model from Sports Chaplaincy Australia – A fully-tested and proven model which sees them responding to the growing demand for chaplains in local sports communities (over 15,000 and counting!).
Urbanrevs is a missional model designed to succeed in communities, which are often unreceptive, anti-religious, and even hostile. It has a record of success in these trying circumstances, because people crave grace and mercy, and communities genuinely value authentic pastoral leadership.
One CEO made a request for our services with the comment, “We don’t completely get what you do but it’s good. Can you help us find a chaplain for our 1800 football clubs?”
The target audience of Urbanrevs is ‘every’ community, not just those involved in sports. The course is designed for every follower of Jesus, not just chaplains.
We are getting great feedback from our church members who have completed the course. We are very grateful for the tool!
The Urbanrevs program highlights the opportunities of marketplace ministry without adding weight to our already busy schedules.
Church leaders don’t miss this opportunity to train your people to live and serve effectively in urban mission.
The term ‘urban’ has a broader meaning than just ‘city’ it means ‘where community gathers’; and the lower case ‘rev’ is a colloquialism for ‘a God person’ (not a capital ‘R’ Reverend). That’s what we hope every follower of Jesus becomes in full measure: The ‘community God person’.
From God’s perspective they are the true ‘everyday heroes’ – people who make Jesus and his grace and mercy real to all those in their community, whether that community is a workplace, school, sports club, shopping centre, business, club or council. They take responsibility to direct people towards Jesus. They are not the experts, they point people to the “expert”. They just need a little instruction to get started and away they go!
So, why not become an effective, everyday hero today? Sign-up below.
