| who are we |
|
City Church people come from all sorts of backgrounds. We live in many different parts of the City and region. We have differing ethnic and cultural roots. We all follow the one hero – Jesus Christ.
He is our God and we love Him. Church is the natural result of following Jesus. Our church is a community, a family of people following Jesus together. A Church is not about buildings or ceremony, but a community of people who have become followers of Jesus, the greatest hero of all time. Church then is a place to believe and belong. Jesus said “I will build my church”. He also explained that in order to achieve this he would have to die. Why? The church is described as the dwelling place of God by the Bible. God is holy, so how can a holy God be amongst messed up people. That’s what the cross is all about. Sorting out our mess, including our sin that puts up a barrier between ourselves and God as our Father, that’s what happened on the cross. The barrier was torn down and sin dealt with when Jesus died in our place. Welcome home. Our church is therefore a place of passion and hope. Passion for our saviour and hope for all who need grace from Jesus. Lots of things happen in City church’s life. We meet for worship and teaching, in larger settings and smaller ones in each others homes and other venues in the city. Our small groups (sometimes called cell groups) are central to church life. Here people make friends and build community. A place to really belong! You are very welcome to drop in on one. There is lots of stuff for families and kids at City Church . There’s info on the site but best to come along to find our more. Similarly single people are very much part of the core of City church. So there is bound to be a place for you. Please have a good browse round the site. In the I'm new here section you'll pick up lots of information about us, where we are going, our history and what happens at City Church meetings and how you can get involved. Everything you need to know… well perhaps not quite, but enough to whet you appetite. The best way to find out what City Church is like is to come along. So enjoy and we look forward to meeting you soon. Our message? Its simple – Jesus is Lord, Jesus is alive, come with us as we follow Him. |
