Publisher's summary

We need a bigger vision for the city.

It's not enough to plant individual churches in isolation from each other. The spiritual need and opportunity of our cities is too big for any one church to meet alone. Pastors Neil Powell and John James contend that to truly transform a city, the gospel compels us to create localized, collaborative church planting movements. They share lessons learned and principles discovered from their experiences leading a successful citywide movement. The more willing we are to collaborate across denominations and networks, the more effectively we will reach our communities - whatever their size - for Jesus. Come discover what God can do in our cities when we work together.

Collaboration principles with specific model

This work ultimately provides readers with a good amount of principles and things to consider when collaborating in city contexts. The authors integrate scripture, strategy and first-hand experiences as they lay out these principles.

The primary weakness of the book is that the strategy and experiences are limited to the context of church planting and through City-to-City, a church planting network from Redeemer Church in NYC.

Having examples in various cities were great, but they never offered a model other than church planters or networks that formed that weren’t City-to-City affiliates.

Still great principles overall, but not a definitive work on collaboration because of these gaps.
