The CUBM Story

In 1988, a group of urban pastors joined together from various denominations with one thought in mind: Provide some theological and training opportunities for the leaders in their churches. That was the start of the Center for Urban Biblical Ministry (CUBM) in the Point Breeze section of Pittsburgh.

Today, CUBM has graduated more than 200 students, many of whom have gone on to obtain advanced degrees. Yet the challenge and mission for CUBM continues, for many church workers and future workers still lack the training they need to be successful in the 21st century. This book includes interviews with people responsible for CUBM’s beginnings and growth over the years. With gratitude for the past and hope for the future, CUBM begins its second 25 years with a new resolve to impact the Western Pennsylvania area for good as it continues to teach and train a whole new generation of students and leaders.
