Introducing Eden 
Welcome to the Eden Network website! Whether you're an Eden team member, doing a similar kind of urban ministry elsewhere or just curious, we hope the site will answer your questions and provide you with some great ideas.

Eden is an influential approach to urban youthwork and missional community. It originated in Manchester in 1997 and has grown into a network with multiple teams serving hard-up neighbourhoods in several cities. In a nutshell Eden's mandate is to go to the most challenging urban areas and share God's life-changing love in word and action. The really special thing about Eden is the way teams live in the community, sharing the problems of those growing up there and ministering to their needs.
