a partnership for mission in NorthWest England
Synergy Partnership is a Christian partnership working together for mission, made up of 4 Baptist churches in and around Manchester, England.
Three churches are in the urban areas of Manchester: Brownley Green BC in Wythenshawe, Coverdale BC in Ardwick and the People's Church (Baptist) in Partington they are partnered together with Altrincham Baptist Church a suburban church.
In Manchester 75% of the population live in the urban areas of the city. By contrast, 75% of the Christian population lives in the suburban areas (www.urbanpresence.org.uk)
In an attempt to counter an individual church culture, the Synergy church communities relate together and mutually support the ministry and mission of each church through the regular sharing of gifts, ministry, expertise and other resources.
It is recognised that each church, regardless of its social, economic, and cultural factors is unique and has a valuable contribution to make to the Synergy partnership.
