The United Nations world population study reports that more than half of the world population now lives in urban areas and that by 2050 nearly 70% will live in cities. In the United States of America the current state of urbanized population stands at 84% and is projected to increase to nearly 90% by 2050! Well informed, reflective, and highly trained urban faith community leadership will be critical in order to be effective leaders in this growing movement. We can project God’s need for urban transformational faith leaders! Deeply grounded in the urban context, students will reflect biblically and theologically, review historical, contemporary and emerging theories and practices of leadership and organizational behavior, such as, evidenced in the “Black Lives Matter” movement, assess their own leadership style and competencies, and project the gifts and graces of leadership called for to become highly effective faith leaders in the local, national and global urban contexts. Special attention will be given to urbanization as a growing global movement and the contextual leadership skills required to be effective in various settings.
