Urban Expression: creative church planting in the inner city

Urban Expression is a mission agency that recruits, equips, deploys and networks self-financing teams pioneering creative and relevant expressions of the Christian church in under-churched areas of the inner city. Urban Expression is committed to incarnational ministry on the margins and amongst the poor, and encourages teams to move into urban neighbourhoods to work with others to pioneer exciting, grass-roots, transformative way of being church which seek God’s kingdom of justice and peace.

We prioritise urban mission because the spiritual needs in the inner city are enormous and many churches are struggling to adapt to a changing context. Christians have steadily moved to the suburbs and inappropriate models of creating new churches are sometimes used in the inner city.

Urban Expression invites team members to move in and get involved; to build relationships, listen carefully and learn from others; to discover what God is already doing and join in!
