The transformative power of the Gospel is the core of why Renovation City Church exists. God, in Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit reconciles us, along with our ethnic, generational, class, and political differences to be the new family of Jesus. We are both Gospel-centered, and Gospel-driven. We experience restoration because of the Gospel. We seek reconciliation through the Gospel. We work to rebuild our borough because of the Gospel. Our church exists to be more than just a gathering of people on Sunday. We exist not to only experience the peace of the Gospel, but also to extend it. 

When we look at the Bronx, we see land that God created, and called good. We see people that God created, and called good. We recognize the good in the people, and the land, are meant to reflect God’s goodness. That’s why we choose to be a community that lives and loves like Jesus. To point others to Jesus, and to do the work of Jesus, so that those around us experience the same restoration, reconciliation, and rebuilding work of the Gospel that we actively experience. That’s what it means to be the church. That’s what it means to renovate.
