Epilogue – Where do we go from here?

Redeemer Presbyterian Church, pastored by Tim Keller, was recently featured in Outreach Magazine‘s Top 25 multiplying churches list. (Redeemer was ranked as “#1”, whatever that means.) The more interesting read is Dr. Warren Bird’s article, “Church in the City: Although they are different New York City churches with very different audiences, Redeemer Presbyterian and Infinity Church are part of the same multiplication equation with a product of continuous Kingdom growth” — especially the (short) interview with Keller titled, “The Genius of Church Planting.”
