Mission

Through collaboration with the church and community, Project URGE strives to extinguish disparities and minimized access to services in under-resourced and marginalized communities in the Finger Lakes Region. These disparities have created poverty, community violence and systemic issues that are a direct result of racism. Extinguish racism, solve the problem.

Project URGE Then…

Our intention was to bring the Christian community together, not just in speech, but also in action and in truth (1 John 3:17,18). One church often doesn't know what other churches are doing.  The same is true with both Faith Based Organizations (FBO’s) and Community Based Organizations (CBO’s). Many suburban churches have little or no connection to the urban environment. Through our extensive experience with volunteering in urban ministry, it became clear that a more comprehensive and collaborative approach was needed if real change was to occur. Class and race have divided the church, like society, which is an affront to God. We have been persistent in our pursuit of making connections and collaborating with FBO’s, CBO’s and churches in the community since March of 2002.

Project URGE Now….

Project URGE and it’s ministry teams works collaboratively with partner organizations, churches and communities that are committed to resolving issues of poverty, community violence, systemic issues and race, and living out 1 John 3:18 — "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." 

Church & community partnering to create positive change

The time is NOW! We must act with a sense of urgency to create the change we so desperately need in our communities, systems and our youth. If we are not a part of the solution, we are part of the problem. Join in the fight with Project URGE
