UrbanMinistry.org ScreenshotUrbanMinistry.org is TechMission's Web 2.0 portal for the faith-based social services sector and those who serve in it. The site is both a social network and shared resource bank for thousands of faith-based social service organizations and individuals.

As an UrbanMinistry.org visitor, you are welcome to share your knowledge with others through the site's wiki. We have partnered with the top faith-based social service conferences to provide an archive of audio, video and materials of 15+ years of workshops on nonprofit training, but we need your help to expand this collection.

The vision of TechMission's UrbanMinistry.org is to help promote social justice and end that segregation by using Web 2.0 technology to connect the urban and suburban church worlds.
