Redeemer Presbyterian Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Redeemer Presbyterian Church (PCA), founded in 1989, is a church located in New York City. Its senior pastor is Timothy J. Keller.
Christianity Today has called Redeemer "one of Manhattan's most vital congregations." [1] The church does not own a building yet it currently draws around 4,400 attenders to its services each Sunday and through its church planting center has helped start over 100 smaller churches in the New York City metropolitan area. In a 2005 survey of 2,000 American church leaders, Redeemer was named the #26 most influential church in America. [2]
As leaders in the growing trend among evangelical churches of "planting" or starting new churches in urban areas, The New York Times has reported that "pastors from around the world are beginning to come in a steady stream to New York City to glean what they can from Dr. Keller and Redeemer." [3]
