Vision and Values

Our Vision

Communities of healing, hope and justice.


Our Values

  • We are inspired by the love of Jesus Christ.
  • We seek wholeness and transformation in all creation, with priority for the poor.
  • We are committed to small groups living in local communities.
  • We value people in all their diversity and interdependence.
  • We are good stewards of the resources we are given.

Urban Seed is keen to develop partnerships of mutual well-being with Indigenous groups and their people. These partnerships are to be built on relationship, respect and justice.  We are in the process of beginning this journey as an organisation and we expect/hope to make this a core value of Urban Seed in the near future.
