Be curious, not judgmental.

At City Church we recognize that belief can be hard and that many people in our city and world have significant questions, doubts, and objections concerning the Christian faith.
We long to be a place where the claims of Christianity can be explored within genuine relationships. We want those who are not believers, or who are uncertain about their beliefs, to find a safe environment where their questions are welcomed, their doubts are explored, and their difficulties are respected—regardless of whether they ultimately come to believe.
Whether you are one of the many people in our culture and congregation processing skepticism and doubt about Christianity, or a seasoned believer trying to grow and better understand your faith, we welcome your questions and would love the opportunity to wrestle through them with you.
Therefore, at City Church we are dedicated to providing honest answers to any and all honest questions concerning faith, life, and God. If you have questions about our community, services, or about what it means to be a Christian, we welcome you to visit one of our services or to contact us to set up a meeting with one of our leaders.
Join one of our discussions focused on faithful cultural engagement.
The Trouble with Christianity: A sermon series by Tim Keller
Religion poses a danger of creating division or intolerance between groups of people. However, the gospel leads us to three things: humble service, reconciling behavior that is neither patronizing nor self-righteous, and a love toward people who hold different beliefs than we do.
In the midst of the overwhelming evil and suffering of our world, abandoning your faith can seem like the best option. But doing so will neither help you handle suffering nor understand God. By looking back to Jesus’ death on the cross and looking ahead to the hope of a new heavens and new earth, we can understand God’s overwhelming love for us and the promise that victory will swallow up evil and death.
In today's society, absolute truth is thought to be the enemy of freedom. But truth is more important than you think, freedom is a lot more complex than you think, and Jesus is a lot more liberating than you think. Discover how Jesus can offer you a truth that gives you a deeper, richer freedom in every area of life, without oppression.
Historically, the gospel has been particularly empowering and compelling to the poor and the oppressed. Seeing what Jesus did for us, no matter what our socioeconomic position, frees us from being controlled by what is on the surface and teaches us to love and identify with the poor.
The Christian understanding of hell gives us insight into the danger of our own hearts. It also gives us resources to understand justice, to live in peace in the world, and to know the love of God who suffered hell for us.
Some believe that we can't trust the Bible because it is historically unreliable and culturally regressive. Dr. Keller discusses solid reasons why we can trust the Bible historically, culturally, and personally.
Questioning Christianity is a place to explore the claims of the Christian faith. It’s designed to help people who are open to learning more, process their questions and doubts about Christianity.
