Next Steps
A Discipleship Pathway
Every discipleship journey is unique.
Our hope in outlining this pathway is to orient the ministry of City Alliance Church to help people move from simply connecting to a local congregation to belonging to a spiritual community following Jesus to discovering core friends who will journey with them side-by-side as they begin to live out the character of Christ. We believe disciples grow into the image of Christ as we share in three communal pursuits: GOSPEL, FAMILY, and MISSION.
GOSPEL: We are being transformed by the way, truth, and life of Jesus Christ.
FAMILY: We are becoming a diverse community shaped by the love of Jesus Christ.
MISSION: We are sent out to where we live, work, and play to express the fullness of Jesus Christ.
As we seek to make and multiply disciples in the local church, we gather in three primary environments that help move people toward maturity:
SUNDAY GATHERINGS
Our whole congregation gathers to proclaim and celebrate the Gospel of Jesus Christ regularly. Our worship together helps form us into the image of Christ. We pray Psalms and sing songs. We preach Scripture and celebrate communion. We remind ourselves who we are in Christ and are sent to live as Christ’s presence in the world. All are welcome to join us at the gathering.
+ Weekly
+ Worship at 9 & 11 AM
+ City Kids available (Nursery, PreK, K-3rd)
CITY GROUPS
We believe the Church is the family of God for the mission of God. It is important for us that every person in our congregation experience the love of Christ in Gospel-shaped community. We view City Groups as environments where we can practice being the church by pursuing Christ together, sharing life together, and blessing our city together.
+ Weekly
+ 8-15 people meeting in homes
+ Childcare available
PARTNERSHIP
We express our commitment to Jesus and one another through partnership. The first step in becoming a partner is attending a Partnership Experience Class. Partnership Experience is a class dedicated to sharing a meal and learning what it means to be part of our local body of Christ.

BAPTISM
We celebrate water baptism as a sign of the commitment between God and the believer. Along with the Lord's Supper (communion), baptism is a ordinance of faith prescribed by Jesus for the Christian believer.
