City Uprising is a unique opportunity for people to unite in the worlds great urban centers in order to ‘propel the local church and prosper the city’. Through an intensive worship and service experience City Uprising hopes to inspire resolute commitment to the local church, raise awareness of the need to reach the world’s major cities with the love and compassion of Jesus Christ through new churches, and build a bridge into the heart of the city through love and service.

For New York, they note:

Worship and teaching designed to compliment service projects will happen at night.
