Hospitality as Evangelism
ENEWS Shumei embraced hospitality as her evangelistic tool. She welcomed neighbors into her home, offering steaming cups of tea and heartfelt conversations. Shumei shared her faith through these simple acts of kindness. But only a year before, Shumei never hosted people at her house.

20260919 Summer’s End Picnic
In the early church, the believers met daily to worship together, share with one another, and break bread together.

We invite you to join us for a church-wide picnic on Saturday, September 19 at Chaoyang Park…

Who Is the Holy Spirit
Jane grew up in the church. She understood why Jesus died for her sins and why she should believe in Him to be saved. But the Holy Spirit was a bit of a mystery. As she read her Bible, sometimes she imagined the Holy Spirit was like the Force in Star Wars – an impersonal power you could channel to do impossible things. Other times, she imagined the Holy Spirit was like a genie, handing out gifts to believers who…

Imago Dei: A Christian Responsibility to Life
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,…

Gender and Sexuality
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…

Church History and Denominations
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…
