Urban Resurrection seeks to create Christ centered community transformation by empowering West Coconut Grove residents to organize, plan for, create and sustain a vibrant, high quality and diverse neighborhood in collaboration with community partners.

We accomplish this through four main avenues: VOICE, BEATS, Ujima Initiative, and networking/capacity BEATS Miami development. VOICE creates the opportunity for neighbors to express their thoughts and dreams and create actionable plans together. BEATS uses urban arts to create a venue for the youth of our community to express themselves and to learn skills that are both marketable and awakening to their souls, we also incorporate evangelism and discipleship/mentoring . The Ujima Initiative helps neighbors help each other in practical ways and create a stronger community. We also use networking and consulting between organizations, churches, and institutions in order to develop a stronger overall collaboration for community development.
