The Great Commission

City Church is committed to being involved in missions! Our purpose in doing so is three-fold:

• To fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8)
• To see men and women saved and taught in the knowledge of God (Ephesians 4:11-13)
• To minister to the totality of human need according to Matthew 10:42, 25:31-46, John 13:35 and Ephesians 2:10

Definition of Missions

City Church's definition of missions is as follows:

• Overseas ministry or ministry to another culture within our own country.
• Evangelizing, practicing discipline, planting churches and aiding in their growth and development overseas and in the United States.
• Any ministry extending beyond the congregation, the church facilities or the local influence of the church.
