TUMI Alumni Conference

We just hosted our first Alumni and Student Conference, the first of its kind in TUMI’s history! We brought together students from the past and present to be inspired for the sake of fulfilling the Great Commission.

Opportunities for Growth

I got connected with The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI) through the Satellite at my church in Burbank, CA. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I started.

Dallas June Prayer Letter

Summer is around the corner and we are getting ready for lots of “firsts” for kids. In Dallas we partner with neighborhood churches to send urban youth to summer camp, many for the first time!

Help Us Equip the Next Generation of Church Leaders
