Who is the lead pastor of City Church?

The short answer is that we don’t have one. The long answer is on our Leadership page.

What accountability does City Church have in place for its leaders?

Great question. For starters, we operate with a “plurality” of leaders. Meaning no one pastor gets to call all the shots or exercise authority over everyone else. Additionally, all of our leaders are actively involved in LifeGroups, where they can be known well by others in our church.

From a financial standpoint, our pastors receive wise counsel from a team made up of members of our church with experience in business finances. This volunteer-led team makes all final decisions regarding compensation for our pastors and staff.

How does City Church practice communion?

We take communion as a church nearly every Sunday together, following the teaching. Any follower of Jesus, from any church tradition, member or not, is invited to participate in communion with us.

Our method of communion is called intinction, which just means taking a piece of bread and dipping it in juice. But there’s no particular magic to the method–we just find that to be the most practical form for our setting.

During our response time after the teaching, you may see groups of people taking communion together. These are LifeGroups or groups of friends participating together because they believe communion to be a communal, as well as an individual act.
