Urban Immersion students hear from a Detroit pastor.
Get Involved - Inner City Detroit

Urban Immersion™

In 2024, we will host...

March 2–8

Email Janice Robinson to register.

Cost: $276


Other Information

  • Participants will be divided up into teams to serve at various inner-city ministries. All teams will get to minister to inner-city kids/teens (which may mean spending a day in a Detroit public school), be involved in evangelistic outreaches and work projects and adult ministry, including ministering to urban college students and the homeless. Breakfast will be a continental breakfast served at the housing site. We will eat all of our dinners together. Lunch will be on your own around the ministry sites.

What to Bring

  • Toiletries, sleeping bag, pillow, towels, slippers/house shoes, casual clothing, work clothing, an outfit for services at a formal African-American church, and a business casual outfit for the possibility of spending the day at a Detroit public school, gym shoes, approximately $45 for lunches, transportation costs, musical instruments and music for worship times, Bible, notepads, cards and games for the evenings, extra towels, all insurance forms, a car if at all possible — in the Motor City we drive a lot!!
  • We'll be staying in close quarters, so keep that in mind as you pack.

  • Participation for the entire Urban Immersion week.
  • A $50 non-refundable deposit is due as soon as possible to reserve your spot with each city. Spots are limited and often fill up quickly, so send in your deposit early.
