Justin Moffatt, a pastor in Sydney, Australia, recently lived in New York City (partnering with a Redeemer church plant) and visited London to gather ideas and inspiration to learn more about city ministry.

Here are seven things he learned about urban ministry from his time in NYC:

  1. Ask Contextual Questions
  2. Love the City
  3. Use Non-Adversarial Apologetics
  4. Endorse and Empower Workers
  5. Engage in Mercy Ministries
  6. Help People Change
  7. Prepare to Plant Churches

Here are four principles he learned in London:

  1. Teach the Bible
  2. Honour the Past, While Building for the Future
  3. Build Ministry Partnerships with City Workers
  4. Follow the Seams of Friendships
