Urban Ministries

CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES WITH A CONCENTRATION IN URBAN MINISTRIES
Students studying in the field of Urban Ministries will immerse themselves in the vitality and challenges facing contemporary urban issues, specifically in Boston, with application to other complex urban settings. This is achieved through student’s participation in the Gordon IN Boston urban semester program, which explores the urban studies topics of poverty, race, culture and community development. Each student will intern during their semester in Boston at either ethnic specific churches or in urban para-church ministries.
