Church of the City

This Sunday we continue our series through 1 Corinthians with a message from Spencer titled "Caution! Gifts at Work" from 1 Corinthians 14:1–40. God has gifted each of us in unique ways, but those gifts were never meant to be used for ourselves alone. In this passage, Paul reminds us that when we gather as the church, everything we do should help strengthen, encourage, and build up one a...

This Sunday in our 1 Corinthians series, we’ll be exploring Paul’s bold words in 1 Corinthians 10:1–11:1: “Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ.” In a culture shaped by self-expression and personal preference, Paul offers a striking invitation into a life deeply formed by Jesus. Through warnings from Israel’s history, a call to seek the good of others, and ultimately the example of Christ Himself,...

This Sunday in our 1 Corinthians series, we explore Love Over Liberty from 1 Corinthians 8:1–9:27. Together we reflect on Paul’s call to lay down personal freedoms out of love for others and for the sake of God’s mission. In a culture that often prioritizes individualism above all else, Jesus invites us into a different way of living—one shaped by self-sacrifice, humility, and a deep concern for t...

This Sunday in our Wisdom in the Desert series, we’ll reflect together on The Lessons of the Desert: Entering Holy Week . As we move with Jesus toward Jerusalem, we’re invited to notice how the desert prepares us to recognize the humble King who comes to us in peace. Drawing on the story of the triumphal entry and the prophetic hope found in Zechariah and Hosea, we’ll listen for how God continues...

This Sunday we continue our Lenten series Wisdom in the Desert, exploring how seasons of dryness, waiting, and testing can become places where God speaks most clearly. Becki Lee will guide us through The Foolish Way of Wisdom, reflecting on how God’s wisdom often looks very different from the wisdom of the world. In Scripture, the desert becomes a place of revelation—where we learn what it means t...

Wisdom in the Desert continues with Jason’s message, “The Freedom of Renunciation: The Desert as a Place of Self-Denial.” In this Lenten reflection, we explore how Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:19–24 and his invitation to the rich young ruler in Mark 10:21 call us to loosen our grip on what we cling to—and discover a deeper freedom in God. Focusing on prayer, this message invites us to see renuncia...

We're so excited that our students are taking over worship this Sunday March 1, with a  Student-Led Reunion   Service , stepping boldly in faith to shape worship, prayer, and community. This is more than a service—it’s a chance to witness their creativity, leadership, and passion for following Jesus in action. Join us in praying for them as they take this step, and come ready to be inspired, e...

We’re looking forward to welcoming guest teacher Mark Cuthbert (from FEB) this Sunday as we pivot back to our  Essential Church  series — briefly interrupting our Lent journey for this special time together — with a message titled  Living the Great Commission (and Commandment) . Mark will help us reflect on what it means to live out Jesus’ call to make disciples while embodying His command to love...

This Sunday at Reunion, we continue our  Essential Church  sermon series with “Empowered by the Spirit.” Together, we’ll explore how the Holy Spirit empowers every member of the church for ministry, equipping us with unique gifts to serve and build up the body of Christ. Drawing from Acts 1:8 and 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, we’re excited to welcome guest teacher Bob Flemming from FEB, who will help us...

Essential Church  continues at Reunion Sunday with  The Church Christ Builds , reminding us that the church belongs to Jesus—and He is still actively building it today. Drawing from Matthew 16:18 and Ephesians 4:1–3, this message calls us to live as a united body marked by humility, gentleness, patience, and love. As we focus on what truly makes the church essential, we’re honored to welcome guest...

Beginning January 11, Jason will introduce a new teaching series, Essential Church . This timely series centers on the core gospel message, mission, and unity—reminding us that the Church’s identity is rooted in Christ. In the weeks that follow, we’ll explore the church Christ builds, living the Great Commission, and being empowered by the Spirit. We invite you to join us, grow with us, and be enc...

We look forward to gathering together on Christmas Eve at 6pm. Join us for a simple, family friendly service as we reflect on the wonder of the incarnation. Together, we will celebrate the hope of “God With Us — Jesus, Light in the Darkness,” as we reflect on the joy, peace, and promise found in Christ’s birth.

As Christmas day draws near, we know many are experiencing the joy and warmth that the holidays bring. However, we know this isn't always true for everyone. Some of us are in the midst of challenging, painful seasons; times in which we may feel alone and forgotten. Where is God in moments like this? Is there any good news to be found? Join us on Sunday as we consider.

As we continue in our Advent series this Sunday, we will reflect on the simple joys that God longs to share with us. We often run the risk of missing out on this beautiful reality of God's presence with us due to busy-ness and anxiety. What would it look like to take joy seriously? 

Immanuel: God With Us  invites us into the wonder of Advent—the season when heaven drew near and God stepped into our world. This week, Advent starts with a promise:  God is with us . In this first week of Immanuel: God With Us, we reflect on the nearness of God—then, now, and always—and open our hearts to the hope that arrives when heaven meets earth.

We continue our series in 1 Corinthians this Sunday as Spencer brings a message titled: A Kid Needs a Parent. We'll see in chapter 4 Paul reminding the church that true spiritual growth doesn’t happen in isolation—disciples mature in Christ through the care, guidance, and presence of faithful spiritual parents. Join us as we lean into what it means to grow up in Christ together.

Jason continues our 1 Corinthians series with a powerful message on what true leadership looks like in the Kingdom of God. In 1 Corinthians 3:5–4:13, Paul reminds us that leaders are not the foundation of the church — Christ alone is. We are simply servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God, called to lead with humility, faithfulness, and grace. Come ready to be challenged and encoura...

What does it really mean to be “mature” in our faith, and how do we get there? In this week’s message, we’ll see how spiritual maturity ought to be the goal for all disciples, and yet it isn't something we can accomplish in our own strength. As Paul reminds the Corinthians, spiritual maturity isn’t about how much we know—it’s about how deeply we allow God’s Spirit to shape our hearts, attitude...

This Sunday, we’ll continue our journey through 1 Corinthians as we look at 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5. We'll explore how counterintuitive God's plan for salvation seems when we try to look at it through the lens of human wisdom or when we expect flashy displays of God's power. What a strange (and beautiful) saviour we have in Jesus!

This Sunday, we’re continuing our journey through 1 Corinthians with a message titled “Dumbfounded by Division.” In 1 Cor. 1:10–17, we see Paul’s alarm at the growing divisions in the Corinthian church — factions forming along different dividing lines. Join us as we consider Paul's answer to such division. Hint: it's pretty darn simple!

We’re kicking off a brand new series in  First Corinthians  this week, starting with a message called Grateful for Growth. Throughout this letter, Paul provides instructions for the Corinthians' life together that are grounded in the gospel truths of Jesus and what he has done for us. This advice is incredibly timely for us today. We'll see that in 1 Corinthians 1:1–9, Paul begins his lett...

his Sunday, before we begin our new series on 1 Corinthians in two weeks time, Spencer is going to lead us in a special consideration of our role in discipling the next generation. How do we as a church envision leading young people towards Jesus? What are all of our roles in this process? Join us Sunday as we consider!

Have you ever had someone suggest to you that the more spiritual practices you have in your life, the more righteous you are? Or on the opposite end, maybe someone has told you that the most spiritual people are the most spontaneous? Join us on Sunday as we conclude our 2025 Vision Series by considering how the activities we invite one another to participate in as a church contribute to our transf...

Join us this Sunday as Jason continues our powerful series  Christ, Our Foundation  with a message titled  Growing Up in Christ . While salvation is the starting point of our faith journey, it’s not the finish line. God calls us to mature, deepen our roots, grow in spiritual strength, and eventually to share in the responsibility of nurturing younger believers. What a task! Join us on Sunday as we...

This Sunday at Reunion, we continue our 2025 Vision Series with a message titled  The Beauty of Spiritual Children . As we discussed last Sunday, discipleship means transformation into Christlikeness. Well, when we are born into new life in Christ we start our spiritual lives as just that - newborn babies. What does this stage of our spiritual lives look like? What do we need? Join us on Sunday as...
