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.
I have just completed the UrbanRevs Chaplaincy Certificate course and found the teaching to be wonderful and biblically-based. The presenter, Cam Butler is very focused and keeps on track with his easy to listen to voice. The course is divided into relevant sections and I believe anyone who wants to do this training will get a lot of ‘life’ lessons from it, as well as a full understanding of what Community Chaplaincy is all about.
I have now been in the role of Chaplain in the aged care sector for fourteen years and I found the Urbanrevs presentation and content to be very affirming and encouraging. I wish I had this training when I first started out.
The Urbanrevs program highlights the opportunities of marketplace ministry without adding weight to our already busy schedules.
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.
