This is Urban Saints: Helping young people live lives of faith, hope & love through Jesus Christ since 1906. Changing the future, one life at a time.
Since 1906 Urban Saints (formerly known as Crusaders) has been reaching out to children and young people with the good news of Jesus Christ. We are passionate about working with children and young people who have no church connection, helping them to realise their full God-given potential as they journey from childhood to adulthood.
Young people (aged 3 to 18+) connect with the movement in a variety of ways, including weekly youth groups, special events, holidays, community projects and training programmes. These activities are led by thousands of volunteers who are comprehensively trained and supported in order to help them work effectively and achieve the highest possible standards of youth work practice. Whilst much of our work is in the UK and Ireland, increasingly we are helping indigenous churches within countries in the developing world to set up and run outreach work among un-churched children and young people.
Underpinning all of our work is the strong belief that the Christian faith works today and that Jesus Christ was speaking the truth when He said that He offers the very best, most fulfilling life. To this end, our passion is to see young people…
- Come to faith, and then share that faith with others
- Experience the greatest hope, and then become bringers of that hope to their peers
- Respond to the love of God, and then become activists in their world through the practical demonstration of that love
