Birth–5th Grade

We love partnering with parents to help children know and follow Jesus.

City Kids meets during every Sunday gathering in a safe, engaging, and fun environment led by trained volunteers.

Our Nursery and Preschool environments open 10 minutes before the start of worship.

Elementary children begin with their care givers in the worship service before being released (typically 20 minutes into the gathering).

If you're visiting for the first time, we recommend arriving a few minutes early to make check-in easy.

Family Sundays

We love creating safe, engaging environments where kids can learn about Jesus in ways designed especially for them. We also believe children are an important part of our whole church family—and there is something powerful about worshiping together across generations.

That's why, typically on the 4th Sunday of each month, we celebrate Family Sunday. On these Sundays, our elementary-aged City Kids join the rest of the church for the worship gathering.

We intentionally make Family Sundays welcoming for kids. The gathering is slightly shorter and activity pages and other resources are available to help younger worshipers participate throughout the gathering.

Family Ministries - City Students

BRIDGE

BRIDGE is designed specifically for students ages 10–12 who are beginning the transition from City Kids into City Students.

On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, BRIDGE students released during the message portion of the Worship gathering for an age-specific environment where they can build friendships, ask questions, and grow in their faith as they learn what it means to follow Jesus for themselves.

Our hope is to create a meaningful bridge between childhood and the teenage years—giving students a place to belong while helping them take greater ownership of their spiritual journey.

If you're visiting for the first time, we recommend arriving a few minutes early to make check-in easy.

City Students Community

Student Community is a place for teenagers to build meaningful friendships, grow in their faith, and discover what it looks like to follow Jesus alongside others.

On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, students gather for a free lunch immediately following the worship gathering. Around the table, they have space to connect with friends and trusted leaders while building the kind of relationships that help faith become part of everyday life.

Our hope is simple: that every student would have a place to belong, people who know them, and a community that encourages them as they learn to follow Jesus for themselves.

Community

Find Your People

Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone.

Some of the most essential parts of following Jesus happen around a table—with people who know your story, encourage your faith, and help you practice the Way of Jesus.

You don't have to figure out where you fit on your own. There's a next step for you—and a Community where you can know others and be known.

Serve

Make a Difference

TheCity.church isn't built on the talents of a few, but on the ownership of many.

Serving is one of the ways we move from simply attending church to helping create the kind of church family we want others to experience. Whatever your gifts or season of life, there’s a place for you on the Team.

Meet Our Pastor

Pastor Blake loves good coffee, reading J.R.R. Tolkien, playing basketball, and cheering for the Jaguars. A graduate of the University of North Florida, he studied Sociology and Religious Studies and is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity through Kairos University.

Together, Blake and Cierra launched TheCity.church in 2015 with a vision to see revival in Jacksonville through the local church. Today, Blake serves our church family in two roles: as Congregational Pastor of TheCity.church at San Marco and as Lead Pastor of TheCity.church, helping provide vision and direction alongside our Elders and Trustees.

Spiritual Formation

A Shared Way of Life

Following Jesus is so much more than attending a service once a week. It’s a way of life—learning to arrange our everyday rhythms around being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and doing what Jesus did.

As TheCity.church at San Marco, we’ve chosen to live into a shared framework of intentional spiritual practices that create space for the Holy Spirit to form us, individually and together, into the image of Christ.

Historically, Christians have called this kind of shared framework a Rule of Life.

You’re invited to live into this shared way of life with us—starting where you are, without pressure, moving at a sustainable pace and trusting the Holy Spirit to shape you along the way.
