We can’t ignore the city...

We know we can’t ignore the city because it is God’s invention. He had an original plan, and we’ve done our best to ruin that plan. Now he desires to redeem it. He calls us into the city to love, to preach, to identify, and to bless.

A importância da Cidade

The city is more important than ever. Right now, more people live in cities than at any other time in human history. Never before has the majority of the world’s population been an urban population. 

Cities have always played a central role in human history. 

Cities have long stood as powerful places of cultural development, influence, and invention—offering hope, refuge, and new beginnings. But never before have cities been as populated, powerful, and important as they are today. 

The world is changing. Our world is experiencing the largest movement of urban growth in history. Our world is now predominantly urban, and there’s no going back. This new reality, this new world, presents a historic opportunity for Christians. 

- Why City Matters

STEPHEN T. UM & JUSTIN BUZZARD 

City

Jesus built a heavenly city by coming and dying in an earthly city. You too can be part of Jesus’ city-building program by going into an earthly city, weeping over it, identifying with it, preaching to it, and making the sacrifices that inevitably happen there. Are you ready to join Jesus work in the cities of the world?

City

If sin has twisted the city as it’s twisted the family, and God invented the city, then we don’t abandon it—we build it.
