Our Vision

creating movements of the gospel in the cities of europe.

City to City Europe focuses on church planting for the renewal of the cities in Europe 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 Europe-wide movement of leaders who create new churches, new ventures, and new expressions of the gospel of Jesus Christ for the common good. We do this by:

  • raisING Leaders

  • plantING churches

  • developING city networks

GROWING THE MOVEMENT

City to City Europe is birthed from Redeemer City to City in New York and has been steadily growing to serve the cities in Europe by raising local leaders. We help recruit, train, coach and fund national church planters from a variety of denominational backgrounds in over 30 cities in Europe. We are now seeing these networks multiply churches, become self-sustaining and advance the Gospel in their cities.

City to City was co-founded by Tim Keller. After transitioning out of his position as senior pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Tim Keller moved into a full-time role with City to City, focusing on ministry in global cities like Johannesburg, Mumbai, London, São Paulo and New York City. He served in this capacity until his death in May 2023.

Today, City to City’s global leaders continue to work together to invest in and pass along what they have learned to a new generation of ministry leaders. Through these endeavours, City to City helps build for and propel movements of the Gospel in affiliate networks around the globe. 

 

OUR values

GOSPEL

We believe that the biblical gospel of grace is essential to the salvation and transformation of people and cultures. An ongoing experience of the Gospel is the driving force in all of life, work, and ministry.

URBAN

We are committed to the city because God is committed to the city. Cities are strategic places for Gospel ministry and should receive missional priority at this point in history.

CONTEXTUAL

We are committed to pastoring and planting contextualised, urban churches that multiply.

HOLISTIC

We believe that the Bible compels churches both to proclaim the Gospel in word and to live out the Gospel in deed: seeking justice, loving mercy and promoting truth and righteousness.

INDIGENOUS

We aim to be a network that raises up church planters indigenous to various urban cultures, able to understand their setting, and effectively to apply the gospel to it.

 

We equip local church planters to build and grow self-sustaining churches that live by the gospel.
