A Story That Spans Generations
In 2005, Urban Impact was celebrating 10 years of ministry, reaching about 500 students through Athletics and Summer Day Camp. But Pastor Ed and Tammy Glover dreamed of reaching even more. Tammy, passionate about the arts, started a small choir in their living room. Before long, the group outgrew the space—so their neighbors, the Phelps family, opened their home to help.
One of those kids was Valerie Phelps, a young girl who loved singing every Tuesday night. For seven years, she grew in faith and confidence—performing solos, feeling “safe, loved, and free to be myself,” and knowing she was seen and valued.
Today, Valerie is raising her own family right here on the North Side. After years away, she and her husband returned home—enrolling their kids in Urban Impact programs so they could experience the same love and guidance she once did. Cyrus (5) just graduated from our preschool and now plays soccer while learning God’s Word. Azlynn (3) attends preschool four days a week and can’t wait to join more programs as she grows.
What began with one little girl in a living room has now impacted the next generation. For 30 years, Urban Impact has served the North Side—reaching more than 1,700 youth this year alone. Valerie’s story reminds us that when one life is transformed, an entire family—and community—can be changed forever.
As this year comes to a close, would you consider giving a special year-end gift to Urban Impact?
Your generosity helps more children like Cyrus and Azlynn thrive in faith, family, and hope for their future.
Together, we can continue transforming lives and spreading the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
