ABOUT US
OUR STORY
City Church was born in Jacksonville, FL with a group of 6 people meeting together in a house. After a few months, that group began to grow and shift into what is now City Church: One church with multiple locations.
Our Inaugural Service was on 10/10/10. City Church is a multi-cultural and multi-generational community whose mission can be summed up into this simple statement:
"REACH THE CITY WITH THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST"
CITY CHURCH PASTORS

They have been serving the Lord full-time for the last 20 years as pastors, teachers, youth leaders, university faculty, and more.

OUR CREED
The Gospel is the good news of what God did for us through his only begotten Son, who lived a sinless life, died in a sacrificial way, and rose again in a miraculous way, in order to forgive our sins and justify us before God. This Gospel is the basis of our confidence that the Kingdom of God will prevail and that one day we will see its purposes fulfilled over all creation. This Gospel is centered on Jesus Christ, it is the cornerstone of the Church, and Jesus is our only hope of eternal life.
This Gospel is not only the means by which people are saved, but the means by which they are sanctified. It is the truth of this Gospel, which enables us to genuinely and joyfully do what is pleasing to our Lord, and to progressively grow into the image of Christ. The salvation offered in this Gospel is received by grace, faith, and Christ alone. There is no ritual or work on our part that is required to be saved.
What do we believe?
We believe that the Bible was inspired by God and we also believe in its infallibility and authority (2 Timothy 3:15-16)
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. That He is God with the Father and the Holy Spirit (1 Tim. 3:16). We believe that Jesus was miraculously born of the virgin Mary (Matt. 1:18-24). We believe that Jesus lived a sinless life (2 Cor. 5:21, 2 Tim. 3:15-16). We believe in one Lord, one faith, and one baptism (Eph. 4:5)
We believe that Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead on the third day (John 19:14-20, John 20:19-20)
We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that they continue to operate in the Church today (1 Cor. 12:1-22, Rom. 11:29)
We believe that Jesus ascended to heaven and will return to establish His Eternal Kingdom (Acts 1:9-11, Matt. 25:31, Rev. 20:4-6)
We believe that there is one true God that exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deut. 32:39, Matt. 28:19, Gen. 5:7, John 1:1-4)
We believe in the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ and faith in Him as the only way for a person to be saved and enter heaven (Dan. 7:13-14, Col. 1:13-18). We believe that people are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6, Rom. 5:1, Eph. 2:8-9)
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit that enables a believer to live a holy life (2 Pet. 1:2-4; 1 John 3:4-6, 9; Gal. 5:16). We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and that it can be a separate experience from salvation itself (Acts 8:14-17, Acts 10:44-48)
We believe in eternal life for those who are saved and in eternal damnation for the lost. (1 John 2:24-25, Rev. 20:15, Rev. 14:10-11). We believe that Heaven and Hell are real places (2 Cor. 12: 1-4, Rev. 4: 1-2, Mark 9:42-48, Rev. 20:11-15)
