Richard Langmead left Urban Saints in July to pursue new opportunities. We are thankful to Richard for his contributions to Urban Saints during his time with us.
The strategy Richard developed in 2017 established a new, clear and distinctive direction for Urban Saints. The call to return to our roots and start more weekly Groups has led to fourteen new Groups since September 2018. Key areas of work for Urban Saints have been refreshed, including weekly Groups, Camps, residentials, additional needs training, Overseas Adventures and Energize.
Impact Team Director, Claire Murphy, has been appointed Interim CEO until the end of the year. Claire will lead the team towards our 2020 goals, navigating the challenges and opportunities of Covid-19 and bringing together our strategic plan for 2025.
As we commemorate 120 years of disciple-making (since Albert Kestin gathered that first group of boys in a living room in North London in April 1900), we look to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. We give thanks to God for the ministry of Urban Saints and pray for many more years of reaching and discipling children and young people.
