History
Since forming in 1906, Urban Saints has dedicated itself as an organization to bringing young people closer to God and helping guide them through their childhood lives. The organization claims to have had great success during the earlier years of its work, on the basis that Crusader classes were allegedly very different to Sunday schools at the time, while still teaching the same principles and values supported by the Christian faith. The organization's motto is 'Faith, hope and most of all love' from 1 Corinthians 13 v 13. The tenets they stand by are: Commitment, Compassion, Endurance, Humility, Integrity and Wisdom. Before too long numbers began to grow and a programme of summer camps began in 1911, together with special events and sporting activities. The organisation grew steadily, apart from during the two world wars when numbers dipped.
