ABOUT

About the Urban Life Center 

The Urban Life Center empowers the community through an integrated approach encompassing health programs, nutritional guidance, mental health support, community services, and events. We aim to build bridges, share knowledge, and empower our neighbors on their journey to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
 

The five pillars of human development—Cognitive, Emotional, Social, Physical, and Spiritual—are central to our belief in fostering well-rounded growth. By addressing these dimensions through practical means, we offer individuals the opportunity to attain not only health but also success, personal development, a sense of belonging, and lasting happiness. As a Christian non-profit, The Urban Life Center, sponsored by the Chesapeake Conference of SDA, is dedicated to implementing best practices that care for the complete well-being of individuals, encouraging optimal health, harmonious family life, and overall fulfillment.
