See all the gathered moments of prayer.

The early church didn’t just pray when things went wrong — prayer was their heartbeat.

In every season, whether waiting, celebrating, or facing challenges, their first instinct was to come together and pray. And when they did, God moved.

What if we rediscovered that same rhythm today?

In a world that feels increasingly divided, hostile, and hopeless, Jesus calls His Church to live differently.

Rather than retreating or joining the spiral of outrage, we are invited to be a beacon of hope—a light shining in the darkness. This reflection explores how the Church can embody love, mercy, and unity in an age of anger and division, pointing to the transforming power of Christ.

This next step isn’t just about solving a problem — it’s about making room for more people to meet Jesus, and for our church to keep growing in strength, diversity, and faith.

The Vision of Stand is clear: to see the men in our church rise up as leaders of faith, unity, and courage. We face challenges like apathy, burdens, and consumerism, but through Christ, we are called to stand firm in our faith, stand up for righteousness, and stand together as brothers. This journey is not one of isolation but of gathering, growing, and challenging each other to be men who reflect the love and holiness of Christ in all areas of life.

On Sunday 15 October 2023, we celebrated the rich diversity at The City Church. We learned that our congregation represents over 31 nations, speaking 31 languages across 6 continents.

As believers, we know that our journey with Christ is not meant to be a solo endeavour. Just as the early Christians in the book of Acts supported and nurtured each other's faith, we too can benefit greatly from these types of relationships. In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of discipleship, how it can help us grow, and practical steps to initiate accountable relationships.

In this video, Paul, Mark & Jon recommend a selection of resources and tools that they have found helpful in developing intentional, scripture based habits.

Building a loving and inclusive community lies at the heart of God and the gospel. After all, Jesus came down to restore our broken relationships. No one worked harder at restoring community than God Himself.
