Redeemer City to City
Church planting network founded by Tim Keller
About the Channel
Redeemer City to City is the church-planting network co-founded by Tim Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. The organisation trains and funds church planters who seek to establish gospel-centred congregations in major urban centres worldwide. The YouTube channel serves as a media arm for the network, featuring Tim Keller's teaching alongside content from associated pastors and practitioners. Keller, who died in May 2023, was one of the most influential evangelical theologians and preachers of his generation, known for integrating Reformed doctrine with urban cultural engagement.
Channel content includes Keller's own sermons and devotionals, panel discussions on gospel centrality and church planting strategy, and the multi-part How to Reach the West Again podcast series, which addresses evangelism in a post-Christian cultural context. Keller's handling of texts from Luke, Galatians, and the Psalms reflects his characteristic method of moving from the biblical world to the contemporary one with close attention to both. His Disciplines of Distress devotional on Psalm 11 is one of the more meditative pieces on the channel.
Theological Position and Audience
The channel operates from a Reformed and Presbyterian theological foundation, with particular emphasis on the gospel as the centre of Christian life, preaching, and social action. Keller's approach to culture was notably different from the culture-war posture common in American evangelicalism: he emphasised hospitality, intellectual engagement with secular objections, and care for the urban poor. With 30 videos, the channel is a selective archive suited to pastors, church planters, and those interested in Reformed urban ministry.
