Service
In his promise to Abraham, God said, "I will be your God and you will be my people." That promise was brought to fullness in the death and resurrection of Jesus. But, God didn't call us to be his people just so we can worship him and enjoy each other. Rather, he calls us to be his people, "in order to be a blessing to the `nations." In other words, we are called to be conduits of the beauty and grace of Jesus to our world. Every Christian is called to this and it is essential for the process of growing into a mature follower of Christ. Every person at Cityview is encouraged to be actively engaged in bringing healing, hope, beauty and renewal to our city in the name of our risen Savior. In so doing, we live out the love of Christ to others in our Church, our City and our World.
We believe God loves the City. Cities are central to Jesus mission, and the mission of the early church, and to ours (Luke 4:43).The city is not a place to be avoided nor merely tolerated but a strategic mission field where Gods people should be present and ministering. We encourage Christians to learn from the city, to accept and love its people, to invest their resources back into the city, and to seek to serve the physical and spiritual needs of the city.
