At City Church we believe that the work of the church is not limited to volunteers and staff. One way we seek to involve all members in the work of the church is through our quarterly Member Meetings. In our upcoming Member Meeting, you’ll hear updates from elders, deacons, and staff about what God is doing in and through City Church and have a chance to ask questions or share your perspective. We will also spend time praying for the…

Maria and David found themselves wrestling with difficult questions about the value of human life. As they heard different opinions about abortion, euthanasia, and the meaning of human dignity, they wondered: How should Christians think about these complex issues? How do we respond with both biblical conviction and genuine compassion in a culture with many competing perspectives? If you have struggled with these questions or want to better understand what it means to be created in the image of God,…

David grew up hearing that the Bible had something to say about gender and sexuality, but he was never quite sure what that meant—or why it mattered. In school, at work, and online, he heard many confident voices offering different definitions, each claiming to be true. Over time, he began to assume that the Bible was either unclear on these topics or simply no longer relevant to modern life. At other times, he reduced the conversation to a list of…

Sarah loved the local church but often felt confused by the many Christian denominations she encountered. She wondered why churches that all claimed to follow Jesus differed in their beliefs, practices, and traditions. At times, church history felt distant or irrelevant, and she wasn’t sure how events from centuries ago shaped the church she knew today. If Sarah’s experience mirrors your own, we have good news for you. City Church has prepared a discipleship class on Church History and Denominations…

Have you ever received a package, opened it, and thought, “Wait, I didn’t order this. What even IS this?” Sometimes we feel like this reading the Bible. We struggle to see how certain passages have anything to do with us, as if parts of Scripture have surely arrived at our address by mistake. This sense of confusion is especially acute when we read the Old Testament. To better understand the Bible and make sense of the Old Testament, join our…

Have you ever received a package, opened it, and thought, “Wait, I didn’t order this. What even IS this?” Sometimes we have a similar feeling while reading the Bible. We struggle to see how certain passages have anything to do with us, as if parts of Scripture have surely arrived at our address by mistake. Even though the New Testament is often studied in church, there are still many confusing passages. To better understand the Bible and make sense of…

Mark has been attending City Church, and recently, he’s felt a growing tug in his heart about missions. He knows that God calls believers to share the gospel with the world, but he isn’t sure what that really means or how he can be involved. To gain a deeper understanding, Mark joined the Discipleship Class on “Theology of Missions”. In this class, he learned what missions truly is, why it’s vital to God’s plan, and how each of us can…

Sarah, a curious skeptic, met Jake, a passionate believer, at their local Beijing gym. One day, over post-workout smoothies, Jake shared the transformation he had seen in his life after coming to faith. Intrigued, Sarah agreed to visit his church. She sensed a genuine atmosphere of community and love, and felt a profound spiritual shift. Over time, inspired by Jake’s testimony and the hope it offered, Sarah embraced Christianity. Interestingly, sharing his testimony wasn’t something that came naturally to Jake.…

Sarah and Daniel always dreamed of having children, but as they began thinking about fertility, pregnancy, and modern reproductive technologies, they found themselves facing questions they had never considered before. What does the Bible teach about the gift of life? How should Christians think about natural reproduction, fertility treatments, and emerging technologies? They wanted answers that were rooted in Scripture while also filled with compassion and wisdom. If you have wrestled with these questions or simply want to better understand…

Daniel trusted the Bible, but sometimes found himself wondering how it all came together. Why were these books included in Scripture and not others? Who decided what belonged in the Bible, and could it really be trusted as God’s Word? At times, these questions made him uneasy, and he wasn’t sure where to find clear, thoughtful answers. If Daniel’s experience mirrors your own, we have good news for you. City Church has prepared a discipleship class on Scripture and the…
