Vision & Values

Our Shared Vision

TheCity.church is one church expressed through many neighborhoods. Each Neighborhood Congregation shares the same 4 part framework of mission, map, motivations, and measures while shaping its ministry around the people and place God has called it to serve.

That means our congregations won't always look exactly the same—and we don't expect them to. We are united in what matters most while giving each congregation room to faithfully love and serve its neighborhood.

Our Mission

Where We're Going

Revival in Jacksonville through the local church.

We believe God brings transformation to people, families, and neighborhoods through healthy local churches where people encounter Jesus and learn to follow Him with their whole lives.

Our Map

How We'll Get There

We plant unified Neighborhood Congregations that disciple Covenant Owners and multiply even more Neighborhood Congregations.

Rather than building one large church around a single location, we want to see healthy congregations rooted throughout Jacksonville—united around a shared mission while becoming deeply connected to the neighborhoods they serve.

Our Motivations

We Keep Our Promise. 

We promise to love, honor, and accept all people with inspirational hospitality—whatever their story.

We Embody Ownership.

TheCity.church isn't built on the talents of a few, but on the ownership of many. Everyone has a part to play in the life and mission of the church.

Our Measures

What Faithfulness Looks Like

How do we know we're becoming the kind of church we're called to be?

We believe every person is invited to take ownership of the life God has given them—growing as an apprentice of Jesus and faithfully living out His call wherever He has placed them.

Our five measures spell OWNER and describe the rhythms we hope to see increasingly shape both the lives of our people and the life of every Neighborhood Congregation.

Demonstrating and declaring the Way of Jesus through authentic relationships.

Encountering God and inspiring mission through passionate gatherings.

Equipping and encouraging holistic discipleship through life-giving community.

Giving generously and serving sacrificially through gift-based teams.

Multiplying God's family and God's Word through empowered ministry.
