Operating within dense and diverse neighborhoods creates a special opportunity for up-close and lived-out ministry—as well as some unique challenges.

Here at Barna, we want to inform and support the leaders of urban churches. We also believe leaders in nonurban communities have an opportunity to learn from and potentially partner with urban congregations.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with World Impact to create a new research report called Inside the Urban Church: How Local Congregations Engage With and Impact Their Communities.
