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.”

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 to accomplish Christ’s work in Melissa, as described by Paul in Ephesians 2:14-22.

As part of the family of God in Melissa, we offer the unique, supernatural peace of Christ “to those who are far off and those who are near” – which, of course, covers all of us in Melissa, no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve been through.

Since 2020, we've experienced more than 130% growth, stretching our current facilities and staff. If our mission resonates with you, we invite you to pray about joining our team as we look for new ways to lead our faith family for the Glory of God, the Good of the City, and the Hope of the World.
