The Center for Urban Education Ministries has identified many ministries across the nation which we are labeling “Star Ministries.” They are all programs that have been recommended to us through people in their geographical locale.

If you would like to share what you are doing in urban education ministry please contact me at marlene@wheatridge.org.
