RVVL — Pastors & Churches
RVVL was built for one reason: to see New York City transformed by the presence of Jesus. That vision only becomes reality through the pastors and churches already doing that work. This page is for you.
01The Reality
"New York City has been called the place where churches go to die."
Real estate is prohibitive. Congregations struggle to find and hold space. New plants launch and fold within years. We believe that is not God's will for New York City — and RVVL exists as a direct response to that reality.
Seven nights at MSG, UBS Arena, and Barclays Center. 121,000 seats. An encounter with Jesus through music at a scale this city cannot ignore. And a Kingdom Grants program that channels festival revenue directly back to the churches doing the ground work.
02Kingdom Grants
RVVL is not just a festival that happens in NYC. It is a financial vehicle for NYC churches. Here is how the grants program works:
Consistent Venue Access
Consistent venue support for established churches that lack permanent meeting space.
Begins: After Milestone 3
New Plant Funding
Operational funding for new church plants in their first three years.
Begins: After Milestone 3
Venue Acquisition
Partial funding toward venue acquisition or long-term lease for qualifying churches.
Begins: Post-festival, from revenue surplus
Free & Subsidized Tickets
Free or subsidized group tickets for congregations that cannot afford them.
Begins: At Milestone 2
Churches that register as partners now receive priority access when grant applications open.
