Community Groups
We believe that discipleship & Christian growth can be best carried out in a community context; therefore, Citylife is committed to nurturing its people through opportunities of mutual support, practical love & service, fellowship (food & fun), & learning about the Christian faith. They are the primary place for pastoral care where we can embody the gospel through kingdom priorities.
• Please sign-up for CGs at the Welcome Table. For

As followers of Christ, every Christian and every local church are called to join Him in this exciting plan. We can participate in His worldwide mission by going, sending, and praying. Every 2nd Sunday of the month (after the 9:15 service, 10:35-11:05, in the Exeter Room), Citylife will have a time for you to come learn about and pray for the missionaries that Citylife has sent out and also for other nations of the world. Contact Hunter Benson.
