!Audacious Church Manchester - Unique

Added Wednesday, October 30, 2013 View full list    Print version    
Manchester, England is perhaps best known worldwide as the home of two leading football teams and the new Media City enclave, which houses studios for some of the UK's leading broadcasters.

But there may soon be much more to celebrate within this great city - that's if !Audacious Church continues its present growth, in both size and community influence.

On a recent speaking visit to the church, Mal Fletcher found a group of people who are passionate about their city and nation, in what is arguably one of the fastest growing churches in the nation.

Pioneered and led by Pastors Glyn and Sophia Barrett, who are strong friends of Next Wave, the church is built around a strong sense of vision for adding to the quality of life in the city, along with a strategy to engage with civic leadership.

Whilst there, Mal launched the 2020Project which will kick off in Manchester early in 2014 (watch this space). He met with the local Strategy Team who will be responsible for the project and was very encouraged by the quality of people involved.

After his visit, Mal said: 'I visited !Audacious Church once before, in its very early days.'

'Standing on the stage this time, in their much larger building, it was hard to believe they've only been going for five years!'

'I can say with conviction: there is definitely more to Manchester now than football and media!'

Hey Mal, I'm in Melbourne & grabbed your book Making God Famous. I was inspired as you told the story of leaving Youth Alive & going to Europe. People who maintain their passion are an encouragement to us all.

Mal, the Lord gives you deep and important insights into many current issues. Thanks for being faithful to him.

Passion: I think it flew out the window the moment political correctnes reared its ugly head! So much in the world today is bland and lacking in intensity but I don't want to calm down!
