Since the late 1980s, the Urban Immersion Retreat Program of Bethel-Bethany United Church of Christ has been hosting groups in a rich exploration of urban ministry in Milwaukee, WI. Groups stay in our church building, connect with our partner ministries for a work project, and experience cultural diversity through worship and hands-on experiences. We utilize a participation, action, and reflection model to encourage transformation for those who participate.
Groups usually stay 24 hours (Fri night through Sat afternoon) or 36 hours (Fri night through Sunday morning worship)
Current partners include: The Guest House – Milwaukee, Islamic Society of Milwaukee, Sherman Phoenix Public Market, Milwaukee Public Market, and the America’s Black Holocaust Museum
