Make the City a Better Place

30th Anniversary Edition!

A city can be a lonely and isolated place to live, despite all the people. Yet God is doing a new thing. He is planting fresh spiritual gardens that help a city be a better place. Coastal Church is a living testimony of this, where in one of the most densely populated and unchurched cities of North America, there is a safe oasis where people can be spiritually refreshed.

Dave Koop came to Vancouver knowing very little about this urban world and what it would take to build a vibrant congregation under the city skyline. This book tells the story of Coastal Church and the key lessons the Holy Spirit taught him to pioneer a city church.
