John 3:16 (ESV)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that
whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
*City Church is not the kind of church
that is big on rules and low on
compassion, rather, City Church is big
on compassion and low on rules.*
City Church Core Values
Good News of Jesus
These Core Convictions sum up
what we are committed to
We learned that, because of
God’s love, we need no longer
carry heavy burdens of fear,
guilt, or self-condemnation.
If God finds us worthy of
love, then we can love
ourselves.
We learned that when our
life here is over we have a
resurrection life of peace
and happiness that lasts
forever.
We learned that as believers
we become agents for
expanding God’s kingdom
on earth by growing as
individuals, loving people,
and sharing the Good News
with others in relationship.
We learned that God is not
angry and harsh with us as
many of us thought. Instead,
he loves us fully and freely
and desires our happiness
and reconciliation.
We learned that we should
focus on loving and caring
for people rather than
keeping burdensome
religious rules. Once we
understand God’s loves for
us, we are in a much better
position to love others.
