Training Our City Kids to Slow Down
Slowing down is not popular in our culture, nor is it typically encouraged...and our children feel the pressure to perform and produce, as well. But for the past several months we have been encouraging our older elementary and middle school students to slow down and dwell on God’s promises in Scripture.

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.

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.
