Welcome to City Church, Blue Springs!!

The Mission
City Church is a church dedicated to reaching our generation for Christ and making true disciples, not just converts. Our mission is to reach and disciple our city God’s ways so that they can mature and become a fruitful follower of Jesus Christ.

Vision
The first part of our vision is to reach into our world and establish the Kingdom of God through creative and relevant evangelism. We are continuously searching for new ways to take the gospel to our city by creating ministries such as our Fall Family Fun Day, Spring Easter Egg Hunt, Fall Fun Fest Potato Barn, Red Sunday, and Amazing Race.  Jesus commanded us to make disciples, not just converts. Therefore, discipleship is a major part of our ministry. Through our Discovery Classes, we provide Biblically based training that covers the basics of Christianity and beyond. We believe that people need and want to be challenged, and that they desire more than to just sit in church services.

Relationships play an important role not only in church but in everyday life. Through a cell-based ministry called the vision of 12 we have men’s, women’s, teen’s, and children’s networks regularly meeting to help sustain fruitful, strong relationships.

Ephesians 4:11-12 is a mandate for every pastor to train and equip believers for the work of the ministry.

Another priority of this ministry is to help each believer discover the gifts that God has placed within them and then release them into the area of their gifting(s) within our church. Our future goals are to have ministerial training and internship opportunities for people who feel a need to grow more or desire to be trained for possible full time ministry.

Leadership:

The Pastor
While the concept of church government and structure may be foreign to some believers, the Bible does instruct local churches to be organized in a specific manner. Because God has called “some to be Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, some Pastors, and some Teachers,” (Ephesians 4:11), it is necessary that the Pastor be the head of the local church.

City Church operates under a Pastoral form of church government. In short, this biblical organization of the local church recognizes the Pastor as the person chosen by God to bear the responsibility and authority as the head of the local body; he is recognized as the visionary and leader of the ministry.

Board of Trustees
While the pastor has the ultimate responsibility of answering to God for the progress of the ministry, wisdom and state law provides for a Board of Trustees. As provided for in the by-laws, the Board of Trustees is appointed by and assists the Pastor by providing spiritual and practical guidance in the operation of the ministry as a corporation and as a biblical institution.
