Urban Ministry Internship 2010

February 26, 2010 – 1:55 pm

According to the 2007 report by the United Nations Urbanization Project, there is an estimated 82.3% of the population living in urban areas in 2010. By 2050 the urban population in the U.S. will have reached 90.4%.

These metropolitan areas are filled with people from different backgrounds, cultures, religions, and social classes. The cities in the U.S. and around the world provide an incredible opportunity and challenge for churches to minister the gospel to many who desperately need it.

There is a great opportunity for those who are interested in Urban and Multi-Ethnic Ministry to gain invaluable ministry experience this summer. Inter-City Baptist Church is once again offering an Urban Ministry Internship program for the summer of 2010.

The Urban Ministry Internship is intended to provide university and seminary students who are interested in urban and multi-ethnic ministry an opportunity to interact with a variety of ministries in the Detroit urban area during the summer.

The interns gain experience in urban campus ministry, upper socioeconomic outreach, lower socioeconomic outreach, multi-ethnic ministry, and urban church ministry. The program also includes required reading, interviews, and reports in relation to urban ministry.

If you are interested in ministering the gospel in Detroit and learning more about urban and multi-ethnic ministry this summer, please contact Ben Edwards for more information: bedwards@intercity.org.
