Our Sunday service starts at 10:00 a.m. and usually lasts until 11:30 a.m. You’ll want to arrive a few minutes early to meet a few folks, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the Lloyd home, and find your way to the sanctuary.
Our parking lot, right off of Maiden Lane, is reserved for visitors, the elderly, and those with small children.
Street parking is available along the streets of Maiden Lane and Wasena Avenue. Please be courteous to our neighbors by not blocking their driveways or the bus stop.
We love children, and there a lot of them in our church family! Children are welcome to stay in the service, but we also offer childcare and children's classes during the service.
In a typical service, we will:
City Groups gather through the week in homes to know and follow Jesus together in smaller groups. Following the example of the early church, City Groups are devoted to life connections, Bible study, prayer and occasional meals together (Acts 2:42). City Groups are where we relationally can be the church to one another and to our city.
We cannot be close to everyone in a large group. We need smaller groups to know others and to be be known in closer relationships.
We see this even in the life and ministry of Jesus.
City Groups are where we connect and minister at the small group level (the “12”). Closer relationships (the “3”) may even happen within City Groups.
We have City Groups that meet throughout the week in different areas of the city and valley.
The Grandin Village City Group which meets in Pastor Derek's home is especially good for newcomers to Citylight.
Please MESSAGE us for more information about our present City Groups.
The early church devoted themselves to prayer (Acts 1:14; 2:42). A Prayer Meeting is an opportunity to commune with God together - pouring out our hearts in both praise and petition. Prayer does not just ready us for worship and ministry. Prayer is worship and ministry.
Children are gifts from God, and we are called to love, train and provide for them. The Bible charges parents with the primary responsibility of their child’s spiritual formation and care. Citylight wants to support and families in this so that our children and youth may become lifelong followers of Jesus Christ, exceeding us in faith and faithfulness.
Every Wednesday evening, 6:30-8:30 p.m., middle and high school youth gather in the gym and youth room. This usually includes a large group time for fellowship and teaching and then smaller break-out groups for discussion and discipleship. Through the school year there will also be other retreats and outings planned.
Our Youth Ministry is led by our Youth Minister, Ben Rodkey, and other loving adults.
We do not want to be busy with programs and activities. However, we do love sharing life together as fellow disciples of Jesus. Here are some of the other groups and outings of our church community:
