Multiplying churches as our city grows.

Our city is changing fast.

Over the next eight years, Edmonton will grow by more than 250,000 people. Today, nearly 9 in 10 won't walk into a church on a given Sunday — and behind the numbers are real neighbours carrying loneliness, broken families, addiction, and a quiet ache for meaning.

To reach a city growing this fast, we need more churches — vibrant, mission-driven, and ready to serve a growing population.

This is why Reach Edmonton exists.

Too often, church planting is lonely work — leaders going it alone, churches competing for the same ground instead of cheering one another on. Reach exists to change that: to catalyze the work by connecting, equipping, and aligning leaders who are already on mission, so that more churches are planted across our city, and planted well.

Our Goal

33 by 33

As Edmonton grows by 250,000 people, we're praying and working toward catalyzing 33 new churches by 2033 — through new plants, multisite campuses, and congregations reaching our city's many languages and cultures.

You’re not in this alone.

Across Edmonton, a growing community of pastors and leaders is praying for one another, sharing what they're learning, and cheering each other on. Whether you’re planting, exploring what God might be stirring, or supporting the work, there’s a place for you here.
