What became City Church Melissa started in a living room in early 2012 with a small group of Christ-followers gathering regularly for fellowship, a meal, and the study of God’s word. As this group began to grow in size and our hearts were broken for the city, God began to give a vision for a new church in Melissa. A desire and vision was placed in our hearts to be a Gospel-centered church “For The City”.
Our Beginnings
City Church Melissa started with a handful of family units who sold businesses, changed jobs, and moved to be part of a humble, grassroots beginnings.
In 2013 this small group began to share the vision for City Church Melissa. God faithfully provided the needed resources and in March 2014 City Church Melissa launched. Our church was planted to see those people who are far off from God brought into the family of God as they experience the richness of His grace and mercy in Christ. This remains our greatest hope. We are a community of people loving our city because of the person Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
We are a community of people living for the glory of God and the good of the city.

Our Values
We carry these individually and corporately.
RELATIONAL
We believe that God created us to live in community. In response to this, we seek to know each other authentically as we meet together to grow with and encourage one another.
GENEROUS
We believe God calls us to be cheerful givers as we steward the resources He has entrusted to us. We seek to act generously with our time, talents, homes and money.
LOCAL
We believe God calls us to live for the good of our city. We seek to identify and meet the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of those around us.
EQUIPPING
We believe God calls all members of the body to live on mission as ambassadors and laborers for the Gospel. In all our teaching, we seek to equip and mobilize believers to carry the Gospel to the end of their street and the ends of the world.
ANCHORED
We believe God calls us to hold His Word as our sufficient and final authority. All our teaching, beliefs and practices are founded in Biblical truth.
