Churches have a clear biblical mandate to look beyond their own community to the neighborhood, the nation, and the world as a whole; thus mission is not an optional program in the church but an essential element in the identity of the church. The command to give the Gospel to the world is clear and unmistakable and this commission was given to the churches.  Matt. 28:18-20 commissioned us to disciple, baptize, and teach. Mark 16:15 tells us to GO. Acts 1:8 tells us to be witnesses to our community and the world. We are called to make Christ known through the sharing of the Gospel and, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to bring His lordship to every dimension of life. The primary way we fulfill this mission is through the equipping of believers for ministry in our local church and seeking to make Jesus known in our local communities. Our aim is that each believer would become more like Jesus through the ministry of City Church and that, by God’s power, we would share the good news of Jesus Christ in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and families, sharing in and celebrating His redemptive work together. We also believe we are responsible neither to retreat from our culture nor to conform to it, but with humility, through the Spirit and the truth of the gospel, to engage it boldly as we seek its transformation and submission to the lordship of Christ.    (Matt. 16:15-19; 18:15-20; Acts 2:41-42,47; 5:11-14; 6:3-6; 13:1-3; 20:28; Rom. 1:7; 1 Cor. 1:2; 3:16; 5:4-5; 7:17; 9:13-14; Eph. 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:8-11,21; 5:22-32; Phil. 1:1; Col. 1:18; 1 Tim. 2:9-14, 3:1-15; 4:14; Heb. 11:38-40; Rev. 2-3; 21:2-3)
