Servant Partners

Servant Partners Transforming Communities With the Urban Poor Together, we work at the grass-roots level to address the spiritual and physical needs of the communities we serve.

We see ourselves as catalysts for change, and emphasize relationships, flexibility, creativity, and risk-taking in ministry. Instead of creating a permanent Servant Partners presence, we evangelize, train, and empower people to transform their own communities in ways that will continue long after we are gone. We host internships, recruit staff from around the world, and partner with local churches

, leaders, and organizations to work towards transformation.

Launched in 2015, SP Press is dedicated to supporting the growing movement to work alongside the urban poor. We publish theological reflections, narratives, and training materials that speak to God's transforming power in the inner cities and slums of our world.

Living the Jubilee Sabbath is the fourth stream in the Servant Partners Rule of Life 🌿

Jubilee reminds us that God is the center, that rest is a gift, and that restoration is possible. In Jesus, debts are forgiven, wounds are healed, and generosity overflows. Through worship, Sabbath rhythms, and simple living, we enter God’s rest and share it with our neighbors.
