Who We Are
Titus Foundation is a nonprofit organization that trains and develops urban youth leaders to better disciple and equip the next generation.
Our Gospel-focused programming rooted in Christian worldview is designed to build grounded and strong leaders while helping them develop a shared vision of effectively addressing the needs in their community that directly impact youth.
Why?
Churches across Arizona and the nation are seeing an unprecedented decline in weekly attendance—especially among younger generations. Often, leaders experience depression, fatigue, and burnout. These trends are even worse with young leaders doing ministry in urban communities. We are dedicated to changing this.
What sets Titus Foundation apart is that we focus on young urban leaders to help spark and drive long-lasting change. We see young people as urban churches and communities' most significant mission resource.
Our Approach
- Empower Urban Churches. Fostering community and connections is at the core of what we do at Titus. Urban leaders need tangible resources to transform their community engagement with youth. We empower churches by helping to connect their leaders to resources they need to engage with the things that are most important to them.
- Equip Young Leaders. Our research shows that 94% of pastors in urban communities have no formal leadership development or Christian worldview training. Research has shown that Christian worldview training and leadership development go hand in hand with youth spiritual formation and community transformation.
Titus began by providing leadership development and Christian worldview training to emerging urban leaders. It has expanded into a community of youth leaders, senior pastors, organizations, and individuals, collaborating to reach a generation and building a state-wide advocacy movement for youth discipleship.
The Name
Titus Foundation derives its name from the book of Titus in the New Testament, which refers to God's Story's redemptive and restorative power for character formation, moral excellence, and being ready for every good work!
What pastors are saying
Ushering in the next generation includes the Church's intentional plan to receive and disciple the emerging Hispanic culture. I thank God for the Titus Foundation, encouraging us to lead and equip the next generation.

Partnering with Titus has allowed me to meet young leaders who want to be equipped to share the Gospel with young people in urban areas of our city. Let's not leave them behind!
