UPCOMING EVENT! (Page 3)

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.

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…

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…

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…

If Rachel’s experience mirrors your own, we have good news for you. City Church is offering a discipleship class on Salvation that will help you explore what…
