New Partners in Ministry
In many places of the world, there are few churches present where one can hear teachings from scripture about the person of Jesus and meet Christians attending there. At City Church we prayerfully partner with ministries starting new churches and training local Christians in leadership. As a church we recently added two more ministry commitments to enable us to focus more intently on two countries in particular: Czech Republic and Uganda.
A Season of Waiting
“Advent is a season of expectant waiting, tapping into the sense we have that all is not well, the longing for the world to be made right again. It’s a season for restless hearts and people weary of a broken world who want, with all our being, to know there’s more than this…”
Here Jim, our Director for Discipleship of Children and Families, share some ways we as a church (children included) can anticipate the birth of our Savior together.

Women's Retreat: Building Community Beyond Sunday
"Taking part in the retreat showed me that talking or thinking about God isn’t reserved specifically for Sundays or even only allowed in a specific building. I found that I could show up with more questions than answers. And it showed me that attending a retreat, or even being part of a Christian community, doesn’t have to have a clear beginning and end date."

Who Cares? The Church Does.
Caring for people is hard. At times it can be inconvenient, unrewarding, costly, frustrating, and frankly not what we’d like to spend our time doing. So why do it?
