City Life

Life in The City Church is fairly simple.
Realizing that a church is a people, not an institution, we don't believe in filling your calendar with events, or adding "church things" to your already-busy life. Instead, we want to spend as much time with your Village, neighbors, co-workers, and other folks you know. And we want you to look at all the things you already do in your life, and to see those things with "gospel intentionality." In other words, people in The City Church try to keep our "official" gatherings to a minimum, and to ensure that their purpose is to equip you to live out our mission and identity in your everyday life. Then we send you out together to do just that.
You'll find that Villages are the center of life in The City Church, and that folks in your Village spend time together outside of official church gatherings. You'll find Villages getting to know your neighbors, eating meals together, encouraging one another, and living life as a community on mission. You'll find that the simple rhythm of City Church gatherings is "Village - All-Church Gathering - Mission." And you'll find that other "ministries," such as discipleship, care, and missions, happen on a much-less-formal level, often in your Village, as we spend time living out our mission and identies together. And you can be assured that when we do host other gatherings occasionally throughout the year, they wil have a specific purpose and help us fulfill our mission.
The links on the left of this page will give you glimpses into some specific elements of life in The City Church. Please contact our leadership with questions or more explanation. We know this lifestyle might be different than you'd expect from a church, but we encouarge you to consider the God's mission for the church and the way these elements were lived out in the Bible. And more than that, we encourage you to spend some time with "City folk," to see these ministries carried out as you live life together, and to see God work through his people as live everyday "for the glory of God and the good of Fort Worth."
