What is City Collective?
City Collective is a church-planting movement aiming to ignite and connect like-minded, like-hearted church planters in urban centers of the world who work together to build Jesus Christ’s Kingdom in major cities through deep, committed relationships, sharing of ideas, gifts, and resources, and above all, a disproportionate commitment to prayer.
The city has always played a vital role in the story of God. The first Christians seemed to understand that Jesus’ message about the coming of the kingdom could be spread most effectively by focusing on cities. Over half of the world’s population now lives in urban centers and the percentage grows year after year. In a post-industrial context, cities are the factories where cultural goods are produced and exported around the world.
Who is City Collective?
City Collective is currently composed of six New York City parishes and is extending to cities around the world including Los Angeles, Tampa, Dublin and Vancouver.
Where is City Collective Going?
We believe the Kingdom of God moves along relational lines and is most impactful when overflowing from cultural epicenters-large cities-that influence and shape the culture at large. We desire to continue building covenant relationships with neighborhood pastors around the world, moving beyond New York neighborhoods, that God’s kingdom might flourish here on earth as it is in Heaven.
