Your spiritual vitality is a matter of national importance.
That may sound dramatic, but consider the reality – our culture is shaped by the daily decisions of industry leaders who either embrace secular values outright, or by believers who may not know how to integrate their faith and their profession, and so tacitly promote secular values.Let's take stock: How well are you equipped to bring your Christian faith and values into your profession and spheres of influence?

In fact, Damaris takes advantage of every opportunity to influence others for Christ. For two years, he has performed songs that express his faith in Jesus Christ during Harvard’s Night at the Apollo Talent Show.

Christian Union seeks a spiritually vibrant nation marked by Christian values permeating every corner of society. Christian Union New York works to bring revival to America, starting right here in the city.
In Jesus, Christian leaders can be made whole spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and in their families. Beyond that, they can be strengthened and equipped with kingdom strategy and anointing to be used by God to transform those within their spheres of influence.
From the City to the Nation... and Beyond
A revived and kingdom-minded New York City can begin to turn the heart of the entire nation back to the Lord. To some, this might sound unlikely. But the Lord has done it before. A simple prayer meeting in Manhattan, started in 1857 by a businessman named Jeremiah Lanphier, grew and multiplied in supernatural ways, ultimately leading to what we now call the Third Great Awakening—a revival that spread across America and beyond.
This is why Christian Union New York exists. It serves, ministers to, equips, and connects influential leaders in business, government, finance, law, media, medicine, vocational ministry, and other key industries. The multiplicative power of connecting spiritually vibrant, high-level leaders in every sector of society in NYC can transform the city.
Through seeking God together and stepping out in bold faith, the city-wide and national impact of Spirit-filled key leaders working in tandem cannot be overstated.
CU New York is available to any Christian professional living in the area. God has called Christian Union to particularly target developing Christian leaders, so as to maximize the reach of those believers to impact culture. The ministry also offers a unique continuation of community for alumni of Christian Union's university ministries.

Pursuing Leadership Impact ... Together
We are called not only to a new and transformed life - but to be part of the redemptive process of "making all things new."Are you interested in:
- Building a vibrant network of friends in a fast-paced, time-starved city?
- Experiencing the richness of abiding friendship, cultural engagement and seeking the Lord's presence with a group of like-minded leaders in NYC?
- Working with others to engage a complex and diverse city to make it a different and transformed place - a place that God intended it to be?
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Community Groups are small groups of Christian men or women pursuing leadership impact in three specific ways:
- Community: Building a network of abiding friendships with other leaders in NYC;
- Spiritual Cultivation: Developing an intellectually-satisfying and wholehearted pursuit of the God who made them;
- Engagement: Actively engaging and changing the culture around them.
These groups meet every other week with an active Bible study component and periodic projects designed by the group.
Projects range from reimagining a particular vocation in light of the gospel to involvement in a critical social issue in the city.
The intellectually curious and those longing to assimilate their faith in the culture we inhabit will find these groups stimulating and life-changing.
For more information, or to join a Community Group, please cunewyork@christianunion.org or call Scott Crosby at (347) 682-5653.
