The Urban Christian Woman is a ministry that seeks to restore the Urban Woman with the Gospel for everyday life. This ministry was birthed out of a desire to see women of various ethnic and urban geographic locations “rooted, built up and established in the faith. And to not be captive to empty philosophies or human traditions...” Colossians 2:7-8.

A Few Helpful Hints:

How do I quote scripture?

There are many different ways to quote scripture. However, to keep unification of our blog writers, please adhere to the following:

“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16 ESV

 Make a note that EVERYTHING is italicized. It is permissible to use any translation with the proper abbreviation. 

What could hinder my article from being posted?

  • Do not overuse italics, bold, and/or exclamation marks.

  • Do not indent your new paragraphs.

  • Type alignment must be “left-justified.”

  • We NEVER center posts.

  • A title that catches and grasps the audience’s attention.

  • A lack of fluidity in your title, heading, and content. Be aware of transitions between paragraphs.

  • We never use "&" but always use "and" in a post.
