David and Jen Urquhart

David and Jen Urquhart come from Cru Inner City serving with church partners and working with college students for 15 years. Previously, David worked as an engineer with Mitsubishi Electric and Jen worked in outdoor education, leading kids on nature hikes with Inside the Outdoors.

David has deeply appreciated the mentors who have discipled him in high school and college and desires to do the same for high school students who face cycles of poverty, crippling anxiety, and abuses that Jesus wants to heal.

David went through a 4 year season of gripping chronic back pain, which nearly brought him to the end of his life. After extensive doctors meetings, scans and tests, it brought him to a mental health rehabilitation center where he lived for 3.5 months and experienced tremendous healing and brought him to 100% capacity. Their family is so thankful for God’s grace to sustain them through this journey. David loves to share about the practices he has learned as well as the spiritual truths with others who experience long suffering.

In their free time, David loves playing piano and keyboard, running, playing competitive ping pong, and woodworking. Jen loves reading, running, hiking, creative projects and homeschooled our boys for 4 years. They both love serving with their church and lead the youth group at City Church of Compton. They have lived around the corner from their church in Compton for 14 years with their three boys.
