CITY CHURCH IS COMMITTED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
God calls His people to be His agents of restoration in the places where He leads us. We believe that God calls us to work for the “welfare of the city” (Jer. 29:11). City Church believes in the importance of strong neighborhoods and vibrant communities. It is our hope that God would use us to serve the community He has placed us in.
We believe that life is found in giving it away. We also believe that small acts of service can make great impact in healing the brokenness of our city.
