When They Realized They Were Uneducated and Ordinary Men, They Were Amazed...

Jesus loves the oppressed and the disinherited.  He loves them so much that he doesn't just care for them, but he became one of them.  This basic theology reflects one of the main paradigms of the Bible that things aren't always as they seem they should be.  The least shall be the greatest.  To gain your life you must loose it.  The foolish things of the world shame the wise. 

We are committed to equipping and training inner city leaders, even the uneducated ones.  The Urban Ministry Institute, or TUMI, allows us to to so.  Through this program we take someone who has a 5th grade education and thoroughly train them in biblical theology and understanding so that they can be strong men and women of God.  In two years the students take 16 capstone courses to graduate.

We will be starting an extension of TUMI-SF, September 1st, 2009.  If you are interested in applying or knowing more about TUMI, click here.
