The Centre for Urban Mission and Integral Mission Carlile College runs a specialist missiological programme in urban mission in the heart of Kibera (one of the largest slums in Africa). What is taught in this specialised mission programme, Carlile College has taken to the informal settlements (slums) of Nairobi through the Centre for Urban Mission (CUM).

Working with local churches In recognising the local church as a significant entity through which God works to transform both the individual and the community, CUM works with churches to transform informal settlements through the following six programmes:

The Samaritan Strategy (SS)

Introduces pastors in slum churches to integral mission. The Samaritan Strategy programme thus is the hub around which the other CUM programmes revolve and are integrated. Efforts are made to connect the churches that have undergone SS training to the other CUM programmes. OTHER CUM PROGRAMMES The Shepherd's Institute (SI) Aims to strengthen the local churches in the slums through non-formal theological education. The Christian Economic Empowerment Programme (CEEP) Aims at helping churches address the economic needs which they face by training them in economic skills and linking them to micro-finance organisations. The Kibera and Kiambiu Programme (KIKA) Works with local churches to support the most needy and vulnerable households in the informal settlements of Kibera and Kiambiu in Nairobi. The Youth Development Programme (YDP) Focuses on establishing homework clubs in the churches for youth in informal settlements around which activities to benefit the youth are run. Children's Ministry Programme (CMP) Aims at helping churches in informal settlements to evangelise, disciple, pastorally care for, and nurture children.

Economically empowering The studies which Carlile College offers through SITBSS help students along their career paths, compete in the job market, or even create employment for themselves. Changing lives These studies are offered within a Christian environment which provides opportunities for the College to have a moral and religious impact on SITBSS students. There are three deliberate strategies employed in achieving this impact: MISSION STRATEGIES Modeling The College seeks to model the gospel in the way it conducts its affairs and the way in which the staff live and carry out their work. For this reason commitment to, and maturity in, faith are a requirement for all tutors of the College. Invitational services Students are invited to attend the College's regular worship services and pastoral groups, both of whose content is overtly biblical, pastoral, and evangelistic. Worship services and pastoral groups are integrated into the life of the College through the chaplain's office which is specifically mandated to be in charge of the worship and pastoral life of the College. Relationships In the context of encounters and relationships formed in the College community, the gospel may be shared and the spiritual concerns of students addressed informally.
