Evangelism in the Workplace
John has been a believer most of his life. A few years ago, he moved from Beijing to Chicago for work. His colleagues love him – he’s known for his strong work ethic and friendly personality. One Sunday at church, John sees his colleage Martin in the new-comer’s corner. When John goes up to say hello, Martin looks shocked. He explains he never knew John was a Christian, since John never mentions his faith at work. John feels a bit…

ADHD Support Group
Christians often have access to resources for managing ADHD from the greater ADHD community, but can struggle to find support within our faith community.

We will meet weekly or biweekly to share about our lives as Christians with ADHD, exchange strategies for living fruitfully with ADHD, and pray for one another. This…

Hospitality as Evangelism
Shumei embraced hospitality as her evangelistic tool. She welcomed neighbors into her home, offering steaming cups of tea and heartfelt conversations. Shumei shared her faith through these simple acts of kindness. But only a year before, Shumei never hosted people at her house. She knew she wanted to share her faith, and had a sunny living room where she could host her neighbors. But she didn’t know how to start until she joined a church class which shared many practical…

Can I Trust the Bible?
Sarah had always been a devout Christian, but struggled with doubts whenever others questioned the Bible’s reliability. How could she confidently share her faith if she wasn’t sure about its foundation? One of the strongest objections to Christianity comes down to whether the Bible is inspired by God or simply an outdated ancient text. Whether you are like Sarah and sometimes doubt the reliability of the Bible, or simply want to know how to respond to questions about the Bible…

How Do I Read My Bible?
Jonathan longed for a deeper relationship with God, but felt overwhelmed every time he opened his Bible. His “Bible in a Year” attempts often fizzled out by March, leaving him feeling defeated and distant from God. Sometimes, he wondered if he could really understand God’s Word without a theology degree. If Jonathan’s experience mirrors your own, we have good news for you. City Church has prepared two classes on ovember 24th and December 1st, which will equip you to read…
