Urban Mission Experience, Jacksonville, Fla.

The Urban Mission Experience provides groups an opportunity to reach out to the people of low income and homeless in Jacksonville, FL. Alma's students stay in newly constructed dorm rooms and use the church as a base of operations to move into the community to experience urban missions. The program director links groups seeking to learn about urban missions with non-profit organizations.
