Urban Saints

 

Urban Saints National Organisation Mission Statement:

“Reaching today’s young people for Jesus Christ and engaging them in effective Christian living” 

 

Urban Saints today

Over the last 100 years Crusaders has been reaching out to young people, sharing the good news of the gospel with them, and challenging them.  This has been achieved through supporting; hundreds of youth groups running across the country, exciting residential experiences, events and international opportunities for young people to serve in. In 2004 Crusaders as we were, believed God was calling the organisation to change. Since then we have undergone huge changes and re-branded to Urban Saints in 2007, a name more relevant to the culture of today's youth. However our challenge today remains clear – to bring the unchangeable truth of God into a changing world.

Young people today need hope.  They need something to believe in.  They need something that they can belong to .  They need to feel they are able to make a difference in their world today.  Urban Saints supports those who seek to engage young people where they are and help them to reach their full potential  in God. There has never been a more important time for Urban Saints to be used by God in impacting the youth of this generation. The Basis of Faith in Urban Saints is a belief in;
  • God as creator of all and the Father of all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • The Lord Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God, Redeemer of the world, and the One Mediator, through faith in whom alone we obtain forgiveness of sins.
  • God the Holy Spirit
  • The fact of sin, and the necessity for the atonement.
  • The incarnation, death, resurrection, ascension and coming again of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • The whole Bible as the inspired word of God.
