City to City Australia

What City to City Australia does

City to City Australia Ltd is an Australian not-for-profit (company limited by guarantee, ABN 37 166 972 176) headquartered at 64 Bland St, Ashfield, NSW, founded in 2013 as the Australian affiliate of the global Redeemer City to City movement originating from Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. Its stated purpose is to help leaders build gospel movements across Australian cities, towns and regions by training and equipping leaders and developing and supporting unity movements; it is explicitly non-denominational and tied to the theological legacy of Dr. Timothy Keller.

The organization's portfolio spans three program lines served primarily to Australian church leaders and pastors. Church planting is delivered through Church Planting Cohorts, Church Planting Intensives, and the Incubator CORE and Incubator PLUS training pathways. Church revitalization is delivered through Revitalise Australia, ReVision, and Ripple Effect. Movement-building is delivered through the Unity Movement, the "Movements In Australia" initiative, the Movement Video Library, and downloadable movement resources, with a recent addition of the "Unity for Movement Book." A dedicated Asian Ministry unit (including Chinese-language content and a Cantonese Catalyst role) extends culturally specific training to Asian-Australian church leaders, and one-on-one Coaching supplements the cohort model.

The business is volunteer/donation-supported rather than commercially priced; no public pricing exists and no fees are listed for programs. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there is no venture or equity funding — the entity is a wholly affiliate-led, grant- and donation-funded ministry inside the City to City Asia Pacific / Redeemer City to City network. Distribution is direct program delivery to church leaders across Australia, supplemented by referrals through City to City Asia Pacific and a website, newsletter, and video library serving as content and lead-gen surfaces. Governance is via a board chaired by Mark Edmonds, with Co-CEOs Chris England and Andrew Katay leading a roughly 14-person staff that includes directors for church planting, movement, missional engagement, Asian ministries, and revitalise, plus revitalization consultants operating in New Zealand and Canada.

• North American Mission Board (Send Network): Large, established North American church planting network with extensive training pipelines, assessments, and planter support. A broader incumbent in the same church planting and revitalization space, though operating primarily in the US.

Direct peers
