Believing in Birmingham

In 1990 Carrs Lane Church covenanted with a number of other city centre churches under the name of the Birmingham City Centre Churches Council (known as BC4).

In 2002 this became 'Believing in Birmingham - the Central Birmingham Christian Partnership'.

The principal idea behind the new organisation was to create a missionary partnership of Christians, churches and chaplaincies at the heart of the city, whose goal is not unity for unity's sake, but an attempt to engage with the real and pressing issues affecting the life of central Birmingham.
