The Gospel Centred Church

CitiLodge Hotel, 1 Goshen Estate Road, Elf Bus-stop,
Lekki Peninsula, Lagos

We exist to bring about a
Gospel-centred renewal.

What is Renew?

Renew is an initiative of City Church Lagos that exists to bring about a gospel-centred renewal in the spiritual vitality and impact of the Nigerian church by encouraging Christian ministry leaders to (re)discover the centrality and sufficiency of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for Christian ministry and practice. Renew works to achieve this through conferences, seminars, trainings, and other ministry initiatives.

Pastors and Church Leaders Conference 2019

We live in saddening and exciting times for the Church of Jesus in Nigeria. These are saddening times because despite more than a hundred years of Christianity in our country and its wide-spread popularity, it has failed to translate into commensurate impact on the spiritual, social and cultural life of our nation. The revival our spiritual forbears sought has either petered out, or failed to materialize, in some cases.
