Urban Mission Service
Projects / Retreats

Building Hope in the City organizes urban service projects and retreats for groups regularly. Some are just for a day, a weekend or a whole week!   The staff can work with your ministry’s leadership to create a tailored experience the includes service, reflection, Bible study/fellowship and worship components.  

Housing options within the city for large groups are limited, so it’s best to contact us early to get started on planning your group’s project.  To get started, call Brian Upton at (216) 281-4673.

Urban Mission Leadership Training

Starting in 2008, Building Hope in the City will offer a year-round series of courses for area Christians who are interested in ministry leadership and want to gain a deeper understanding of Scripture and doctrine.

Over time, the courses will also coincide with the prerequisite coursework required for the 'Specific Ministry Pastor' program of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.  However, all interested BHITC volunteers are invited to take the courses for their own edification and growth as Christian leaders!
