Trip Description
The Chicago Urban Program is a week-long service-learning-worship experience that takes place in Urban Neighborhoodslike Austin, Lawndale, Englewood and Humboldt Park. Students from around the Midwest will gather for service opportunities, scripture study, worship, and exploring issues such as justice, poverty, racism, racial reconciliation, violence, lifestyle, biblical community, and the ministry of the urban church. This is a great first-time Global Partnership trip, a great way to better understand the city where you live and study, and get connected with many of our Urban Outreach partners.
