World Impact Inc
95% of church leaders are not trained for formal ministry – and most minister in urban poverty situations. We partner with churches, organizations, and denominations to ensure leaders are empowered to build healthy churches in every community of poverty. Our Core Ministry Programs: Church-Based Seminary The World Impact Urban Ministry Institute resources and trains urban church leaders. We provide affordable and accessible seminary-based training for men and women in communities of poverty everywhere. Urban Church Planting Our Evangel School of Urban Church Planting trains Christian workers to plant healthy churches among the urban poor. This training is specifically designed to equip teams to reach under-resourced communities. Prison Ministry Through our Onesimus Workshops, we train church leaders and workers to succeed in discipling those who have been incarcerated. We also offer Church-Based Seminary for those who are behind bars. Trauma Healing World Impact’s Trauma Healing Program equips urban ministry workers and leaders to facilitate Bible-based healing groups. Participants can choose to be trained to lead their own healing groups, exponentially expanding the ministry. For more than 50 years, we’ve affirmed the call and vocation of local urban church pastors and ministry leaders who want to transform their cities through the Gospel.
