Our Mission

CITYChurch strives to be a community that demonstrates the power of the gospel in everyday life.  The story of Jesus is the story of grace.  We understand and teach grace by understanding and teaching Jesus.    

Our desire is to demonstrate the power of the gospel by showing the world that the gospel is strong enough to unite people from varying ages, ethnicities, cultures, and socio-economic statuses, through the common faith in Jesus Christ.  Because of that belief we strive to bring the diversity that will be present in heaven into our personal lives here on Earth.   

Scripture teaches us that Jesus brings ALL PEOPLE together in ONE KINGDOM.  All people being brought into One Family, One Faith, One Baptism, and One Father, who is over all and in all and through all.  (Ephesians 4:5-6)    

In order to be a community that exists despite our differences, we must all be willing to give up some of our own comfort and build community in the common faith in Jesus Christ, which truly makes us brothers and sisters for eternity.  We believe that community built on the foundation of Jesus is not only possible, but is a beautiful example of the power of the gospel.  

We believe that the gospel makes a difference in real life.  The gospel demands that we engage the social problems of our community, the problems in our families, the problems in our own personal struggle with the flesh.  A diverse community helps make a bigger difference in all of these struggles.

We believe that life following the Spirit should look different than life following the world, and we are excited about living out that difference, together.
