About Us

Cincinnati Urban Promise is an urban mission located in the neighborhood of Northside in Cincinnati, OH. We are a Nazarene Compassionate ministry and have several neighborhood ministries that fall under our umbrella.

Many of you may have known us as Covenant Church of the Nazarene, which we still are. We also have an after school tutoring program (S.A.Y. Yes!), Covenant neighborhood gardens, an urban missions internship program (Emmanuel House), and much more coming up!

We began about 4 years ago as Covenant Church of the Nazarene with a focus on the poor and homeless in the city. Since then we've grown into a thriving ministry with several branches under our one name, Cincinnati Urban Promise. While our focus is still on the poor and homeless we don't just stop there. Our desire is to become a place for all people, of all economic, racial and cultural backgrounds to come together to serve, love, and follow Jesus wherever he may lead us.
