"We were designed to know, serve, and love God supremely.
Grace Changes Everything in that design to flourish families and our city."
Rev. Dr. Tim Keller, City to City NYC
Ambassador City provides a home where people are fully loved and encouraged as Ambassadors on Mission by planting multicultural churches in St. Louis.
What could the city of St. Louis become if we work together for the city to mobilize Church planters? The city of St. Louis has a rich history. We are now one of the fastest-growing foreign born cities in America.
The United States is now the 3rd largest mission field in the world. God is sending the nations to the USA as missionaries to plant multicultural churches. Ambassador City is an Evangelical Free Church (EFCA) Plant mobilizing Multicultural Church planters in St. Louis.
The foreign-born communities of St. Louis are a beautiful gift to the city as Ambassadors from all over the world. As Tim Keller says we were 'designed to welcome one another' to flourish the city together. We are Ambassador City Network!
We believe God has made from one man "all nations on eath" and he has predetermined the exact time and place that each person lives right here in St. Louis. Let's live out our divine design!
The vision of the Ambassador City Network is to see a beautiful community of foreign born leaders multiplying grace by planting churches among all nations. We are a network of church leaders working togther for the flourishing of the city of St. Louis in every sphere of society
