SubscribeUrban Summer is an initiative of Baptist Youth Ministries Victoria though is certainly not limited to Baptist Churches alone. Urban Summer has a strong link with the Big Week Out in South Australia.
The heart behind Urban Summer is to be servants in our local community with no strings attached. The focus of Urban Summer is to serve the needy, the poor and the disadvantaged in our community and / or support organisations that work with them. Basically it is all about practically demonstrating the love of Jesus to people who may otherwise have no opportunity of seeing the ‘good news’ in action.
In our busyness as youth pastors / youth leaders it is often easy to forget the importance of building up good connections with organisations in our local community, especially those who work with young people. Urban Summer provides a great catalyst to establish and enhance relationships between your youth ministry and other youth orientated organisations in your community.
The last four years, we’ve seen over thirty churches blessing their communities with very creative projects. Each of these projects met specific needs in the community with hundreds of volunteers mobilised to participate through these projects.
