Visionary plans to plant 30 new gospel churches in Greater Manchester by 2030 are getting underway.
The project is the brainchild of a fresh initiative called the Northern Gospel Project.
Ralph Cunnington, planter and Senior Pastor of City Church Manchester, writes: Greater Manchester is a rapidly growing city of 2.8 million people. Simply to keep up with population growth, 60 new churches of 100 people each would need to be planted by 2030. And church attendance would still remain at just 3.8%! That’s less than half the rate of London. The task is huge!
