Urban ministry

Leeds is known as a two speed city; there are many who are able to enjoy its resources of education, healthcare, culture, shopping, parks and sport.
There are also those who live on the margins of all this, elderly people who don’t venture out at night, centre, asylum seekers who have not found a safe haven, children and young people who have failed in our education system. Christian ministry reaches out to all and there areanumber of resources to help clergy and parishes share the good news of Jesus with those around them.
