If there’s one practice that can transform your relationship with God dramatically it is listening to him speaking in his word and praying in response. What might God be waiting to say to you this coming year?
How might we respond when someone calls us a racist? There are many answers to that question, but Christians can always respond, “I’m actually much worse than that.”

This morning, I woke up to at least ten emails on the subject of the coronavirus. Almost every organization is thinking through plans in case of a larger scale outbreak. At City Church, we’ve been thinking through the implications of all this as well.

As the New Year arrives, many people will make resolutions that will impact their habits. We will work on better dietary habits, spending habits, or exercise habits. But, few will consider their spiritual habits.
About the Christian Community Center
The Christian Community Center is a non-profit ministry in West Baltimore focused on reaching inner-city children with the gospel. Open from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays for all school-aged children, this relational ministry provides after-school bible studies among other activities. Believing that the most important thing the children need in their lives is God, they teach the bible every single day, guiding them to center their lives on Jesus as their Savior. Their reach also spreads to a ladies' ministry three times a week and a weekly men's bible study.
Get Involved
Love spending time with children? Then drop by the Christian Community Center during their open hours! Whether it's playing games, shooting hoops, participating in crafts, helping with homework, teaching music, or helping share the gospel, the kids will love spending time with you during this after-school ministry.

MNA's Disaster Response Warehouse provides disaster relief by partnering with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) to gather crucial resources for communities affected by these catastrophic events.
CITY CHURCH has run for Back on My Feet (BOMF), but are you interested in lacing up weekly and running with Back on My Feet? City Church is helping BOMF get their new team started in the Penn North/Sandtown-Winchester neighborhoods, a Baltimore community that has experienced unbelievable unemployment rates (21% vs. 4.3% national average), poverty (30.9% vs. 14.5% national average), homelessness (1/3 of homes are vacant), and incarceration (3,074 per 100,000 persons vs. 455 national average). Team up with other CITY CHURCH members as we run (or walk) with BOMF members of this running-based model that aims to restore member's confidence, strength, and self-esteem to better equip them to tackle the road ahead and move toward jobs, homes, and new lives.
City Church is looking to hire two part-time staff members to help with our ministry to the church community and the neighborhoods of North Baltimore.
