Training
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.” - Hebrews 12
Urban Warriors are continually trained as they work. From basic youthwork skills with children and young people, to specific development in giftings such as music, dance and media, we are constantly trying to improve our practice and procedure as individuals and as a team. All Urban Warriors are encouraged to grow as leaders, and learn time management and reliability. Urban Warriors is determined to pursue excellence in all we do, and that value pushes us to be the best we can be.
First year Urban Warriors are enrolled on SWYM’s foundation year course (see friends). Aimed at personal development and ministry equipping the weekly training meetings and bi-monthly conferences provide a loving environment for all trainees to be encouraged, challenged and taught spiritually, and academically.
Fundamentally Urban Warriors is more about us as children of God being transformed. We believe that we are called to be people who are transformed by the Spirit of God and set free from the things that destroy us. We are called to be people who live in harmony with Jesus. We want to see transformation in our broken society, and so we seek to demonstrate distinctive values of love, constancy, forgiveness, restoration, peace, justice and truth. As we explore the teachings of Jesus, we invite people to journey with us and be transformed with us.
