As our churches consider their opportunity to work together. Tim Keller, pastor in New York, offers these thoughts as it pertains to seeing the gospel expand through Kingdom partnerships in the city:
1. Kingdom-centered united prayer across the churches in the city
2. Specialty evangelistic ministries, especially campus ministries and youth ministries
3. Justice & Mercy initiatives
4. Faith and work initiatives (especially connecting with artists and cultural influencer’s)
5. Educational and family support institutions
6. Leadership development systems that work toward identifying leaders and bringing those leaders to maturity
7. Overlapping leaders coming together with a heart for the whole city (business leaders, art leaders, tech leaders, pastors)
How would these areas reflect your desire to see our churches working together to make God’s Kingdom tangible in our cities?
