Thinking About...Christmas
Particularly in the weeks before Christmas, our embodied practices help point to the reality of an embodied God, the Word made flesh, the miracle of the incarnation. Lately I’ve been thinking about Christmas traditions within Richmond, City Church, and within our own family.

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.
