Celebrating GOD's Faithfulness
The FOLLOW ME Initiatives
This is why we exist. To make disciples of Jesus from every tongue and tribe and very generation. Our new sanctuary will double our capacity to make disciples. Our Kids & Littles spaces will also be expanded allowing us to serve more families in making disciples of the next generation. In the last four years City Church has grown 134%, with a year-over-year growth rate of nearly 30%. In 2024, our growth has dramatically slowed because we have imply run out of room. We have a clear choice before us. Either we start telling our city that we are out of room for them or we make room for the many people the Lord is directing our way. When we consider the choice before us through that lens of the mission Jesus has given us, we are left with one option, do all we can to make room that will allow us to make more disciples.
Jesus welcomes all who would put their faith in him without any hinderance or barriers. This is the outrageous hospitality of Jesus. We often say that hospitality is a gospel issue because our hospitality as the church is a reflection of the hospitality of Jesus. With the current size and layout of our building we are not able to show off the hospitality of Jesus as we should. There is no clear point of entry. It is challenging to figure out where to drop off children. We frequently run out of seats and it’s very challenging to navigate our congested sanctuary and walkways. The new entry points, large sanctuary, and renovated Kids & Littles spaces will allow us to welcome worshippers as we have been welcomed by Jesus. With these improvements we will have a building that is properly sized for our ministry and designed for all to easily navigate.
We have a responsibility and a calling to strive for unity within the body and care well for one another. Being spread out across three weekly worship gatherings has been detrimental to the unity of our church family and can lead to burnout within our City Church Service Teams and Staff. Adding worship gatherings has been our only solution to make room for our dramatic growth. That has not come without a cost. Our Elders desire a return to two worship gatherings and the additional space will allow us to do that. A return to two weekly worship gatherings will give us more opportunities to see one another and greatly reduce the workload for our service teams and staff. This will help us maintain a healthy, strong, and unified church family!
"Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
