A different kind of church
A series on Urban Village in the Presbytery of Transylvania shines a light on sanctuary, support and belonging
In a world where too many children are turned away for being “different,” one community is rewriting the story.
Urban Village, a vibrant new worshiping community birthed from the Presbytery of Transylvania and supported by Wilmore Presbyterian Church in Wilmore, Kentucky, is doing more than offering after-school care — it’s creating sacred space. Especially for neurodivergent children who are too often excluded elsewhere, Urban Village offers what every child deserves: a sense of belonging, understanding, and love.
