In 1970, a small group of young people from the city's most disenfranchised neighborhoods formed Seekers Christian Fellowships with the intent of living out their faith in ways that would transform their schools, neighborhoods and churches. What began as a campus college movement quickly spread to the high schools. Young people of faith from communities that had been written off as hopeless were hungy to exercise leadership and follow the command to "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8)
In 1978, they incorporated Urban Youth Alliance International as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit youth organization, with Rev. Faith Brown serving as the first Executive Director. Rev. Faith Brown believed in a Christianity that not only nurtured the soul but where people of faith strive to bring justice, mercy and integrity to the very institutions (schools, churches, courts, businesses) that affect the development of young people in the urban center
In our website, we are privileged to share how the original vision continues to manifest itself as Urban Youth Alliance strives to "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God" in the various undertakings of our ministry.
