God continues to do amazing things in New York City.
In loving memory of our dear friend,
Timothy J. Keller

Join us to grow the church planting movement in our city.
The New York Project is entering its final phase of a 10-year strategy to advance gospel renewal through the church planting movement.
Previously led by Tim Keller, the New York Project is fueled through a collaborative partnership between Redeemer City to City and Redeemer Churches & Ministries.
Theory of Change
We believe the local church, fueled by the Holy Spirit, transforms lives and cities.
Our goal is to help plant 250+ new churches across all of New York City, and through this, triple the body of believers in center-city Manhattan to a tipping point of 15% by 2026.
We do this by training and raising up the next generation of movement leaders. Our vision and dream is to see more New Yorkers come to faith and for that faith to overflow in all areas of life, resulting in a renewed city for all.

A New Home
We are currently in the construction phase of a building in the Upper East Side that will serve both as the home for the Redeemer East Side congregation and the NY Project Leadership Development Center.
This enables Redeemer’s congregation to be more rooted in the community while providing a hospitable training center for City to City. We know the building will have generational impacts for both institutions in the gospel movement. Construction will take approximately 18 to 20 months and we are slated to move into the building in the Fall of 2024.
Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the peace and prosperity of the city... and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
Jeremiah 29:5—7
