Urban Missions Consultation 2025The city is not just growing — it is transforming. And with that transformation comes one of the greatest Gospel challenges and opportunities of our time.

The Urban Missions Consultation 2025, hosted by the South-west Zone of Nigeria Evangelical Missions Association (NEMA), is a regional gathering focused on mobilising the Church to reach Nigeria’s urban centres and diaspora populations with renewed vision, collaboration, and action.

📅 Date: June 18–19, 2025
📍 Venue: Chapel of Christ Our Light, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos

Why Urban Missions?
Over 54% of Nigerians now live in urban areas, and the figure is rising rapidly. Cities like Lagos, Ibadan, Sagamu, Ife, Ore, etc. are cultural melting pots — drawing unreached people groups, students, professionals, migrants, and even foreign nationals into dense, complex environments.
Meanwhile, churches and mission agencies continue to operate with models built for rural settings. If the Gospel must remain relevant and transformational in the 21st century, the Church must rethink its mission strategy for the urban context.

What to Expect
