This Sunday
Continuing our conversation about mission and vision here at CityChurch, this week we’ll turn to 2 Corinthians 8:1-15 to talk about giving. Paul writes to the church in Corinth with the example of the sacrificial generosity of the Christians in Macedonia, inviting the Corinthians to continue the work they began in giving aid to the church in Jerusalem. We’ll look to Jesus, who though he was rich, for our sake became poor in order to give us the riches of God’s grace, as we see how this grace transforms us to give generously.
Join us this Sunday at 10am for worship. Come renew your heart with the promises of God in the hearing of his Word and the fellowship of his people!

Summer Vision & Giving Series
CityKids Volunteers Needed
We are in need of about five more volunteers to help out once a month each on Sunday mornings with our children’s ministry. New volunteers will serve as helpers and do not need to take the lead on teaching classes. Please click here to email Lauren Barker if you are interested in getting involved!
Family Sunday
The date for our next Family Sunday will be June 14th!
On Family Sundays we emphasize worshiping together as the Family of God. We have an abbreviated service particularly aimed toward engaging kids who stay for the full service, with a potluck lunch afterwards where we eat together.
We’ll be having small plate, appetizer, and finger foods, so sign-up below to let us know if you can make it, and if you plan to bring anything to share!
Parents’ Night Out!
We will be hosting another parents’ night out on Saturday June 27th from 5-8PM! Parents will have an opportunity to enjoy a night out while volunteers at CityChurch offer their kids a meal, story time, crafts, games, and so much more.
Sign up below to bring your kids or to volunteer to help!
Book Study
Hugh Belcher is leading a study through Truths That Transform by D. James Kennedy. The book offers an accessible and easy to digest overview of the teachings of our historic reformed faith, with chapters covering basic doctrines like the sovereignty of God, justification, sanctification, and perseverance of the saints.
The study meets on Thursday nights at 6pm at the church building. If you have any questions or would like to join the study, either speak with Hugh to get your copy of the book or let us know so we can put you in touch.
Elder Session
The elders are working to make provision for future elder candidates to be nominated by the church membership. Our bylaws currently prescribe that elder candidates are to be selected by the existing elder session. However, we believe that in order to create structures that foster accountability and resist abuse, allowing for CityChurch to continue to grow healthily for years to come, this responsibility should rightly be entrusted to church members. For this reason, the elders are currently working to draft amendments to our bylaws in order implement these changes.
We ask you to join us in praying for this process and for the Lord to raise up godly men to serve in leadership. We will begin accepting nominations for elder candidates once the necessary amendments have been made.
Small Groups
Small groups are the place where life happens together. Sharing our struggles and pointing each other to Jesus is our primary agenda. If you're not part of a small group, just ask! We have a variety of groups that meet across the region, including at the church on Sunday mornings before church.
If you’re looking for a group to join, let us know here.
Church Membership
If you are interested in joining the CityChurch family, please let one of the elders know, and they will arrange a time to meet with you!
We essentially want to hear your spiritual story and how you came to faith in Christ. We look forward to hearing more stories and receiving more into membership!
Membership has nothing to do with being in a club, but merely affirms your commitment to CityChurch and your willingness to submit to the spiritual leadership of the elders.
