How Citylife Responds to Suffering
“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”
- 1 John 3:18
Citylife believes that a heart authentically moved by the gospel will respond in an outpouring of love. Loving our neighbor as Jesus loved us means opening our hearts to the Spirit’s transformative work: embracing real-life opportunities to re-order priorities, be uncomfortable, and loosen our hold on things that have become idols, whether material or philosophical. In this, God reveals His glory and character to the watching world and to us.

Citylife seeks to support and build community with neighbors who are unhoused and chronically impoverished. Join one of our monthly efforts:
-
CRC provides respite care to Chinese families with neurodivergent children every 4th Saturday of the month, from 4-8pm. Sign up HERE
Foster A Child
Foster families welcome and care for children who have been temporarily removed from their homes by the state for their safety. There is a desperate shortage of loving foster homes for the thousands of children in the MA child welfare system. Not quite ready to be a foster parent? Volunteer to support Citylife foster families with material and babysitting needs.
A Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteer is a trained citizen who is appointed by a judge to represent the best interests of a child in court. These children and youth are removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect, and they often end up in foster care. Learn more

Partakers provides academic support through mentoring teams that assist those incarcerated in Massachusetts prisons who are trying to earn their college degrees. Learn more
