Liberty London Partnership Booklet
Liberty Church was born in New York City, with a heart for cities everywhere. We are church planting church with a vision to see the seeds of the gospel have an impact throughout the world. We are thrilled that some of that seed has taken root across the Atlantic, and we are launching our first Liberty Church community in London, this September. The vision God has put on our hearts is far bigger than something we can do alone. It needs a large, diverse team to stand together, serve together and outwork the dream God puts on our hearts together

A LETTER FROM JONNY PETTMAN<br />
When I was a teenager I would watch US TV.<br />
There was one brand that every American teen<br />
drama would feature heavily; Starbucks, the coffee<br />
shop chain.<br />
I grew up in Liverpool, England; a tea drinking city<br />
in a tea drinking nation. There was one Starbucks<br />
in Liverpool City Centre. Every weekend my<br />
friends and I would get the underground into town<br />
to go to the one and only Coffee Shop. Fast forward<br />
to today and there are Starbucks, Costa Coffees,<br />
Cafe Neros and thousands of cool, hipster coffee<br />
shops. They are on every street corner. The once<br />
tea drinking city of Liverpool now drinks coffee<br />
(just like the rest of the UK).<br />
The conversion from hundreds if years of<br />
predominantly tea to coffee didn’t happen by<br />
taking that one Coffee Shop and making it bigger<br />
and bigger so that it could be the one Coffee Shop<br />
for the city. It was by a new Coffee Shop opening in<br />
a different area, then another one, and another and<br />
then a different chain doing the same thing…<br />
What if the church operated in a similar way?<br />
I had this thought a while ago, but it was just a<br />
small spark of an idea. Then Tasha and I came<br />
across <strong>Liberty</strong> Church in New York. Paul and<br />
Andi Andrew had started a church doing just that.<br />
Planting a community in one area and then another<br />
somewhere else, and then another and another…<br />
This is what we hope to build in <strong>London</strong>. We<br />
don’t plan to start one single church in one place,<br />
but multiple life-giving communities, in and for<br />
local communities across the city. Our dream is<br />
for everyone in <strong>London</strong> to have a <strong>Liberty</strong> Church<br />
community, right there in their neighbourhood.
