Parent's Night Out Fundraiser
We, as the Student Leader Team, are raising funds for an organization called Isaiah 117. This ministry serves children who are transitioning from custody hearings into new adoptions and other placements. On placement day, it provides a safe and welcoming home for children who would otherwise have nowhere to go. Their mission is to be a light in the midst of some of the darkest days these kids face.
This special night will be led by the student and adult leaders of City Students. It’s designed to be a time where your kids can have fun in community, surrounded by awesome leaders who can’t wait to laugh, play, and enjoy time with them. Parents will also get the chance to connect and spend meaningful time together. Best of all, every dollar raised goes directly to support the incredible work of Isaiah 117.
Donations will be taken at the door. We can accept card and/or cash!
Check in/Check out will be at Entrance 3

CS-Fall Retreat!
Fall Retreat 2025 is almost here!
We can’t wait to take students to Camp ToKnowHim—just a little over an hour from City Church—for an unforgettable weekend together!
Fall Retreat is full of fun, games, building new friendships, and enjoying great food. Most importantly, it’s a time for students to grow in their faith and experience powerful moments with God.
Retreat Theme: FUEL
This year our theme is “Fuel”—because what we fill our lives with matters. We’ll be looking at the story of Gideon in the Bible and how God gave him the courage, strength, and faith he needed when he felt the weakest. Just like Gideon, students will be challenged to see how God can fuel their lives with purpose and power.

IN THE BIBLE, WE FIND PARENTS BRINGING THEIR CHILDREN TO JESUS. HE HELD THEM, PRAYED FOR THEM, AND TOLD US TO WELCOME THEM. JESUS LOVED CHILDREN.
Here at City Church, we value families and love children.
We believe the upcoming generation, like an arrow, needs to be released to tap into their full potential so they can change their world for Jesus. We want to come along side our parents and help point their children towards Jesus. One way this happens is through parent-child dedication.
Parent Child Dedication is on May 11th
Please take a moment and fill out the form and download our parent child dedication values. If you have any concerns or questions about the policy or need clarification on the parent child dedication process please feel free to email Zoe Dill at zdill@thecitychurch.cc and she’ll contact you within the week.
