Compassion Ministries
Through the United Methodist Connection
“It is not enough to be compassionate, you
must act.” – Fourteenth Dahli Lama, 1992
“Beware of sins of omission; lose no opportunity
of doing good in any kind. Be zealous of good works; willingly
omit no work, either of piety or mercy. Do all the good you possibly
can to the bodies and souls of men.” – John Wesley, A
Plain Account of Christian Perfection

Urban Ministries (DenUM)
Denver Urban Ministries (DenUM) nourishes
the spirit of community and cultivates awareness of urban life.
We provide resources for persons in crisis and create opportunities
for individual and community growth and service.

Services Center at Denver Urban Ministries provides emergency and
stabilization services for all people in need.
Through our involvement with coalitions, taskforces, and agencies,
we can track broader trends relating to hunger and poverty and
work for solutions. Working with coalitions and other advocacy

collective voice to influence social outcomes.

Crossroads is a multipurpose nonprofit, grassroots
organization. We help to organize low income, disabled, and minority
Utahns to be advocates on their own behalf in addressing essential
issues affecting the quality of their lives. We also provide direct
services to help meet basic survival needs.

based project related to the General Board of Global Ministries
of the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church,USA,
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and the United Church

to Crossroad, a broad range of faith communities, including Protestant,
non-Protestant, Orthodox, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist & Humanist
