Milan is Italy’s second-largest city, home to millions of people and a strategic centre of culture, business, and influence. It is also one of the places where God is opening a new door for gospel advance in Europe. 

In late 2025, Jeremy and Jen moved from Grace London in the UK to Italy to establish a new church in Milan. Leaving behind familiar surroundings, they relocated their family, embraced a new language and culture, and began the slow work of putting down roots in a city they have come to love. 

Rather than rushing ahead, they have focused on laying strong foundations. Over recent months, they have settled into the city, built friendships, gathered a team, and begun forming relationships with local people who share a hunger to see healthy gospel-centred churches established in Milan. 

Already there are encouraging signs of God’s provision. Team members have successfully relocated, new friendships have formed, and some local believers have decided to join the launch team. 

In a continent where many churches have closed their doors and faith can seem increasingly marginalised, the Milan church plant is a reminder that God is still at work. As seeds are being sown and foundations laid, we are praying that this church will become a place where many people encounter Jesus and where future church plants across Europe might one day find their beginning.
