Call to a bigger vision of planting churches together

TOGETHER FOR THE CITY:
How collaborative church planting leads to
citywide movements
By Neil Powell and John James
IVP Praxis & Redeemer City to City.
230 pages. £11.99
ISBN: 978 0 830 841 530

Together For The City is a delightful and inspiring read that tells the story of a group of churches in Birmingham who decided to work together in a way they had never done before. Their vision, known as 2020birmingham, was to plant 20 churches by 2020, now extended to 30 by 2030 and 100 in their lifetime.

But this is a story told with intent. It is Powell and James’ conviction that ‘the more willing we are to find ways to collaborate, the more effective we’ll be in reaching our city for Jesus’. As such, it also functions as a succinct textbook, laying down principles and a pathway for others to follow.
