D.I.S. Clubs were developed out of a great need. Urban missionaries had to find a way to more effectively communicate with city, multi-ethnic, and GenX kids. Even though urban kids were the target -- the results have benefited all kids. D.I.S. Clubs are  extremely fun for the kids and teachers.  There is increased freedom for teachers to meet multiple needs of the kids who attend. D.I.S. Clubs do not force a prescribed teaching method, but incorporate a variety for appropriate use when teaching adjustments need to be made. Many new urban resources that grew out of D.I. S. Clubs can be found in the City Kids Ministry Tool Kits below.
