A church of a different sort, leading reflections on poverty and faith in Louisville's Portland Neighborhood
Imagine a place where people-of-faith and people-of-no-particular-faith-at-all work together to renew a community; where teachers are learners and learners are teachers; where people with little in common have radical conversations over coffee; where we challenge the systems and change the world. An urban village, where strangers are welcomed and anything is possible. It is Church for a new day, a new world...

I'm Dr. Deborah Conrad, pastor of UrbanSpirit. Thanks for browsing through our village and our program. 


We're changing the world by helping folks find their voices. If you wonder why your voice matters, ask someone who works for minimum wage. Or come see us! 


Has Minimum Wage increased enough? Could you and your family live on minimum wage? Find out in a poverty immersion event. There's still room for your summer group. Or, if you're planning for next Fall and Winter, check out these off-season rates... 

New this summer -- for Adults
 Because some have requested, we are planning an Adult Poverty Immersion Week. June 29-July 4, this is the same great experience as our group week, but meant for folks who don't have a particular group affiliation. You can even register one child age 10 or under.  Find out more, or go ahead and register... We'll look forward to seeing you this summer!

Hey bike ride Early Birds ... Plans are underway... Click here to get more info or click on the bike to register now and get the best deal of the season. 



Let Us bring out the artist in YOU!
These murals have been left for us by folks that have done the poverty immersion program. They're beautiful, and help us all reflect on faith and love.

How You Can Help...  

UrbanSpirit, like most churches, is supported primarily by gifts.  Unlike most churches, however, we have no congregational membership. Our base of donors is people like you -- concerned about our work and willing to help.  

A growing portion of our financial resources comes from retreat and program fees, and we receive support from our annual bike ride, the Tour de Spirit. But we could not do this without your contributions: individual gifts, congregational and denominational gifts, and corporate gifts. 

We are organized under IRS 501c3, so your gifts are deductible.

If you'd like to contribute,
(and we hope you will), please send a check in any amount to:  
UrbanSpirit, PO Box 11434, Louisville, KY  40251.

Or use your credit card and our secure PayPal link to make a gift online:

Thank You for Your Support!
