About Us
Redeemer City to City is the new organizational name for the Redeemer Church Planting Center (RCPC) and Redeemer Labs.
We focus on church planting for the renewal of global cities and content resources for leaders who want to bring the power of the gospel to every part of life. We seek to catalyze and serve a global movement of leaders who create new churches, new ventures, and new expressions of the gospel of Jesus Christ for the common good.
Our three-pronged approach is:
Church Planting.
Since its founding in 2000, RCPC has been working with young leaders to start new church movements in key global cities. This began as a ministry of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, led by pastor Timothy Keller. In 2008, we were officially registered as a separate 501(c)3.
Our goal is not to help start churches that look just like Redeemer Presbyterian Church, or even to help start churches that are Presbyterian. We want to work with leaders across many traditions and denominations plant gospel-driven, city-loving, life-giving churches that are appropriate to the context of their cities and cultures.
In our target cities, we recruit, assess, train, coach, connect, resource, and sometimes fund church planters through a variety of programs. You can read more about it in the Planters section of this site.
Content Resources.
Redeemer City to City is a provider of resources designed to help people grow in, and live out, the gospel in the 21st century. Our purpose with these resources is to harness and package Redeemer's theological and ministry "DNA," in the form of transferable content and training, so that we can spread it to leaders in global cities and beyond.
We're creating published books, curricula, manuals, and a growing online library of audio, video, and articles. We are also working on resources for books like The Reason for God, The Prodigal God, and Counterfeit Gods. And you can still find twenty years of Redeemer sermons and talks, in-depth Bible studies, and other resources at redeemer.com. We hope to provide something for everybody, from the professional minister to the urban Christian exploring their faith.
Community.
Tying it all together is you: a global network of gospel practitioners. We want you to love your city to life. We want you to live and create where orthodox Christianity and city-loving, culture-engaging, missional life intersect.
We hope that this website will be a starting point for you to connect with your peers in cities all over the world and support each other in ministry.
