This Sunday

This Sunday, as we return to our series on vision and giving, we’ll turn to Ephesians 4:1-16. Paul urges Christians to live in a manner worthy of the calling of the gospel, and the first thing on his list of what that means for us is unity. We’ll talk about how the unity of the Spirit should be visible in within and among the church through a character and culture of humility, as we hold fast to truth against the wind and waves of falsehood.

Join us this Sunday at 10am for worship. Come renew your heart with the promises of God in the hearing of his Word and the fellowship of his people!

CityKids Volunteers Needed

We are in need of about five more volunteers to help out once a month each on Sunday mornings with our children’s ministry. New volunteers will serve as helpers and do not need to take the lead on teaching classes. Please click here to email Lauren Barker if you are interested in getting involved!

Parents’ Night Out!

We will be hosting another parents’ night out on Saturday June 27th from 5-8PM! Parents will have an opportunity to enjoy a night out while volunteers at CityChurch offer their kids a meal, story time, crafts, games, and so much more.

Sign up below to bring your kids or to volunteer to help!

Earthquake Relief in Venezeula

This past Wednesday evening, two powerful earthquakes struck on the northern coast of Venezuela causing 920 deaths and injuring over 3,000 others, with many still missing. Please pray for those affected by the disaster, for the relief efforts that are ongoing, and for the church among the nations to offer hope and love of Jesus in days of tragedy.

Maria Gantt from our church, who was born in Venezuela, has recommended The Venezuelan American Chamber of Commerce Foundation as a safe and reliable way to give to help provide aid to those affected by the earthquakes.

Elder Session

The elders are working to make provision for future elder candidates to be nominated by the church membership. Our bylaws currently prescribe that elder candidates are to be selected by the existing elder session. However, we believe that in order to create structures that foster accountability and resist abuse, allowing for CityChurch to continue to grow healthily for years to come, this responsibility should rightly be entrusted to church members. For this reason, the elders are currently working to draft amendments to our bylaws in order implement these changes.

We ask you to join us in praying for this process and for the Lord to raise up godly men to serve in leadership. We will begin accepting nominations for elder candidates once the necessary amendments have been made.

Small Groups

Small groups are the place where life happens together. Sharing our struggles and pointing each other to Jesus is our primary agenda. If you're not part of a small group, just ask! We have a variety of groups that meet across the region, including at the church on Sunday mornings before church. 

If you’re looking for a group to join, let us know here.

Church Membership

If you are interested in joining the CityChurch family, please let one of the elders know, and they will arrange a time to meet with you!

We essentially want to hear your spiritual story and how you came to faith in Christ. We look forward to hearing more stories and receiving more into membership!

Membership has nothing to do with being in a club, but merely affirms your commitment to CityChurch and your willingness to submit to the spiritual leadership of the elders.
