Planting University Churches

30 Nov 2012 by Rene Breuel

How is planting a church near a university unique? How can churches minister effectively in these contexts? I’ve asked my fellow City to City planters to weigh in:

- Tuck Bartholomew is the pastor of City Church, located a few blocks from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. The church is about six years old.
- Charlie Drew is the pastor of Emmanuel Presbyterian Church, near Columbia University and Manhattan School of Music in Manhattan. The church is twelve years old.  
- I (RenĂ© Breuel) am planting Chiesa Evangelica San Lorenzo located in central Rome, next to the metro hub and La Sapienza, which is Europe’s largest university, with 150,000 students. Our congregation is less than a year old, with a large proportion of seekers considering the faith.

Kerigma.net

Memba Xavier is a pastor and amateur blogger. He is married and has three children. On his blog he finds an ideal place to write and think aloud about ideas and concepts that, far from being installed in theory, have an effect and a real impact on the life and ministry. He is interested in a special way of preaching, mission and church. This, of course, in relation to society and contemporary culture.
