Outreach
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
— Romans 12:1
At CityChurch we believe that the gospel should make a difference not just in our own lives, but in the world. We want to see the work God is doing in the hearts of our congregation flow out to our neighbors in our community of Bristol and to the world around us. God is working to make all things new and he invites us to join in that work, starting with right here in our own backyards. Rather than trying to start anew with programs and ministries of our own, our goal is to partner with ministries already at work in our community and join in ways God is already at work in Bristol.
