Creative Church Planting in the Inner City
Urban Expression is an urban 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.

The inner city is where Christian mission in Britain has been at its most creative over the past two centuries. Many new expressions of church life, evangelism and social action were pioneered here.

People have come to faith in Jesus Christ, communities have been renewed and signs of God's kingdom of justice and peace have been evident.

But church life in many inner city communities is weak.

So, under-churched areas of the inner city continue to challenge Christians to engage in pioneering and creative mission. Urban Expression is one response to this challenge.

Urban Expression Associates share the values of Urban Expression and participate in a learning community, sharing news, insights and resources. Part of this website is accessible only to Associates.
