This Is Our City

A true gospel movement must be built on the unified desire of its leaders. Spiritual disciplines must be incorporated, and leadership that will energize and strengthen collaboration must be created.

Secure Foundation

Notice that I did not say either-or. I said must. Because only after such a foundation is in place can an alliance between churches with big ideas and their partners with world-class experience be secured. Once established, the walls of a world-changing gospel movement will stand the test of time. They will not and cannot be brought down by the shifting sands of circumstance and opinion.

Strong and foundationally secure gospel movements are possible. They have been and are now being forged in cities across the nation. Each begins at the intersection of desperation, understanding, and resolve.
