Josh Kelsey on Church Planting, COVID-19 and Building Community in New York City
Josh Kelsey
Josh along with his wife Georgie are the Lead Pastors of C3 NYC in New York, where they are raising their two sons. C3 NYC started as a Dinner Party in 2013 and has since grown into many locations, including two cities. Josh’s passion is to communicate the transforming message of God’s grace, raising up and releasing a generation of leaders, reformers and pioneers who love Jesus, believe in His church and reflect His glory wherever they are.
“Our best creative ideas from the Holy Spirit can come because of the need, not because of the surplus.”
