New Line Media Solutions is pleased to announce the selection of UMI (Urban Ministries, Inc) for its innovative, educational television series, Todays Family. The company will be featured in a segment on Building a Solid Foundation as part of the Christian & Evangelical Series.

UMI is the largest independent African-American owned and operated media company in the United States.

Urban Ministries also does business in several international markets.

UMI is involved in the creation and distribution of almost every type of media. Their products range from the publication of various Sunday School and Vacation Bible school curricula specifically designed for African American churches and Christian organizations, to various other Christian themed books, comic books, and even music and videos.

The goal of UMI is to provide materials for adults and children that will inspire, empower, and educate those seeking to grow in their Christian faith and strengthen their relationship with God. These materials are distributed through churches, bookstores, and via the web.

With exciting, cutting-edge products such as the DVD entitled The Walk, starring Eva Pigford, the winner of Americas Next Top Model and a reality television program titled Go Global With Jesus that will air on television this fall, UMI offers products that serve to uplift and portray positive, Christian messages in a relevant and modern fashion. UMI recently launched a Christian Comics division headed by the creator of Static Shock, a top rated comic book and animated television show.

We want to provide Christian inspired content, not only to the church community but to people everywhere who are looking for some positive messages that are relevant to their everyday lives explained Mark Smalls, UMIs Vice President of Sales & Marketing.

All of UMIs products have been developed by seasoned Christian educators who are experienced in the African and the African-American worldview. This allows customers to relate firsthand to what they see and read. Although UMIs products are specifically tailored for this segment,, they also employ individuals from various races and backgrounds qualifying them as a truly diverse company.

UMI offers African-American children and adults a chance to build a strong spiritual and moral foundation by providing quality Christian education in an interesting and fun manner. For more information, see http://www.urbanministries.com.
