About Us

We are advancing the Gospel of Jesus and His Kingdom into the nations through spiritual generations of laborers living and discipling among the lost.

The Navigators in NYC are committed to transforming the city through life to life discipleship. We are meeting people "right where they are" in their lives and helping them deepen their relationship with Christ and impact others in their communities.

We are part of The Navigators, a broader national interdenominational Christian organization founded in 1933 that includes a dozen distinct ministries. New York City is one of roughly 19 "Navigators Cities" nationwide, serving as a leading hub that brings these diverse national ministries together within a specific geographical area. Our aim is to foster synergy among these ministries, creating a unified city team that shares a greater vision for the gospel reaching all of New York City.

Building a Pipeline of Disciplemakers

A key goal of Navigators NYC is to establish a "pipeline" for continuous spiritual connection across various life stages. This ensures that individuals can remain connected to The Navigators as they transition from grade school and college to young adulthood, careers, and church life. This integrated approach is exemplified by our Disciplemakers For Life initiative.
