Sheraton Birmingham Hotel
Purpose
The Mission America Coalition National City Impact roundtable convenes Christian leaders from all over the nation to continue learning about the process of seeing cities transformed with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The specific focus of this National City Impact Roundtable is to present four identified styles of city-reaching with an accompanying "best practice":
¨ Presence-Based
¨ Christian Community Development
¨ Mass Evangelism
¨ Marketplace Ministry
Practical considerations will be made as we seek to create ways to converge and synergize the community transformation styles within a particular city.
