What would you do if you had more money?

Or more time?

What if you weren’t tied down by red tape?

What if your community was fully behind you?

Let’s find out, together.

Churches in Birmingham are coming together, to give meaning to the message of hope that Jesus came to bring. Every community needs something. Maybe it’s a practical need such as cleaning, teaching, or healing. Maybe it's a spiritual need in a community broken by crime, poverty and anger. Whatever the need, the Christians of Birmingham are coming together to try and help.

This is just the beginning. We are aiming to add news, events, and so much more! So keep coming back and get involved.

Interview with a local

Miriam Gaskell is one of those people that inspires. Sitting in her living room, listening to her talk about her passion for her neighbourhood really made an impression on me. She believes in the importance of strong neighbourhood communities and longs to see people know God’s love. Miriam first came to Birmingham in 2001 to train as a physiotherapist at the University of Birmingham. Now a practising physio, she has made Birmingham her home and has developed a real heart and vision for the Stirchley estate in which she lives. But Miriam doesn’t just ta lk, she acts, and in her spare time she’s working towards setting  up a youth group on the estate. I asked Miriam about neighbourhood, community and her vision for transforming the lives of those who live around her.
