Joining UNOH

Contact us if you would you like to know more about UNOH and what it takes to become part of the UNOH Community.

Our mission is to immerse ourselves in the life of neighbourhoods facing urban poverty, joining the risen Jesus to seek transformation from the bottom up.
In order to do this, UNOH workers covenant with one another to:
• share our lives and resources with our neighbours,
• share Jesus in word, deed and sign,
• discern the will and heartbeat of our Lord together; and
• advocate for the poor and marginalised.

We want to be able to commit long-term to our neighbourhoods. Therefore to help make this lifestyle sustainable, we also share a common rhythm of life on team. This includes breaking bread together regularly during the week, praying for our neighbourhoods, and intentionally using our time and gifts for the well-being of others.

How we treat the hungry, the thirsty, the naked, the stranger, the sick, and the prisoner is how we treat Christ himself.
