City Beautiful Church is a community striving to become the kingdom of Heaven on earth. We are the people you see everyday who desire to be a part of culture, carrying a message of faith, hope and love. Mission
“Cultivating intimacy with God, inhabiting our identities in Christ, discovering our purpose as the Spirit-led Church.”

We hold tightly to the teachings of Jesus as recorded by the apostle

s who penned the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In addition, the scriptures arranged in the Bible are the truth which we base our lives around.

Unforgiveness breeds bitterness and contempt. Contempt kills relationships. When we refuse to forgive, we hammer a stake into the timeline that does not allow the person who offended us to move forward in their story. But we don’t realize part of our soul is tethered to that moment as well. Over time, unforgiveness becomes bitterness, eating away at us. And we hold contempt for others, shriveling our hearts up. Tragically, we become unable to receive grace from God and walk in forgiveness.
When we choose to forgive, we are modeling Jesus to one another. We are saying, “I refuse to shackle you to your mistakes, I want us to move forward into freedom in Christ.”

Forgiveness is not:
A feeling
Pretending like everything is fine
Putting up with repeated bad behavior or sin
A thing we hold hostage until someone apologizes
A guarantee of reconciliation

Forgiveness is:
Actively engaging with wrongdoing (courage)
Choosing not to be burdened by bitterness (release)
Choosing out of condemnation, offering grace to the offender
After the grace of forgiveness, there is expectation for change. Forgiveness can change the dynamics of a relationship!

We are continuing to invest in our partnership with Orlando Children’s Church by putting together backpacks for kids in our city who may struggle to find the means to get their own school supplies for the upcoming academic year.

On The Weekly is a list of supplies for each child, specifically in middle or high school age range. Backpacks can be dropped off at the Welcome Table any Sunday morning between July 5th and 26th. This is a great activity to do with your community group.

We worship a God Who makes forgiveness central to our story of redemption. God promises through the prophets that He will be the one to do the forgiving according to His mercy. Jesus goes about freely forgiving sins, culminating in his words on the cross. God does not require payment in order to forgive us (while asking us to unconditionally forgive others); Jesus does, however, make clear that our ability to receive and walk in forgiveness is intricately tied to our ability to forgive others. For God, forgiveness is not merely about following some cosmic rulebook to balance the ledger - forgiveness is integral to healing the world.

Think of an unresolved issue in a relationship you currently have.
What happened, and how did you feel about it?
Did you have any part to play? What is yours to own?
What is your hope/intention of bringing this up? Where do you want this relationship to go?

Ask the Lord to give you the words to speak to work towards good resolution.

Healthy community is not defined by perfection, but by confessing our hurts and failures, and demonstrating a willingness to repair. Disappointment in community is inevitable, but conflict can lead to deeper, wiser relationships marked by grace. Over time we replace the old narratives and heal the old wounds because we’ve learned how to do it well.

Think of an unresolved issue in a relationship you currently have.
What happened, and how did I feel about it?
Did I have any part to play? What is mine to own?
What is my hope/intention of bringing this up? Where do I want us to go?

Ask the Lord to give you the words to speak to work towards good resolution.

Town Hall gatherings are intended to be a space for clarifying our vision and direction as a church. As we continue welcoming new faces and growing together in the life of Christ, we want to create room to listen well to one another, seek clarity where needed, and prayerfully consider where God may be leading City Beautiful Church in this next season. Whether you’ve been part of "us" for years or are newer to the community, your voice and presence matter.

During these town hall events, our elders will give an overview of how our church operates, and some of the plans that are on the horizon for helping us live into God's vision. There will also be time for Q&A.

Sign up on The Weekly for one of two meetings: July 12 or 26, 5:30-7:30pm. To be held at Summit Church (735 Herndon Avenue).

Conflict, in Jesus’ eyes, is guided by humility and advocacy, saturated in prayer. It is imperative that when Jesus gets practical we never lose sight of the spirit he is welcoming us to embody, lest we become legalistic. When we follow his pattern laid out in Matthew 18 for dealing with conflict, we remember that we are not trying to win an argument, but work towards understanding and resolution. Where two or three are gathered, the Spirit of Jesus can discern where relational breakdown has occurred, and how to work towards forgiveness and reconciliation.

"Let me explain. Just as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is the Messiah. For we all were baptized into one body, by one spirit—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all given one spirit to drink.

For the body, indeed, is not one member, but many. If the foot were to say, “Because I’m not a hand, I’m not part of the body,” that wouldn’t make it any less a part of the body, would it? And if the ear were to say, “Because I’m not an eye, I’m not part of the body,” that wouldn’t make it any less a part of the body, would it? If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were the sense of hearing, what would happen to the sense of smell? But as it is, God has organized the members, placing each one individually in the body according to his wishes. If all the parts were one member, where would the body be? So the result is this: there are many members, but one body."
(1 Corinthians 12:12-20)

We live into Paul’s vision for the Body of Christ when we shift from, “someone should do something about that”, to “maybe it’s my time to step up and step in”. In more programmatic church cultures, we look to the “professional Christians” to practice the faith on our behalf, usually because we are too busy’ or to provide us with good sand services to consume. Paul calls us to maturity to embody what it means to be the church - perhaps we are the solution to what see see needs attention. Rhythms like PRAXIS or the upcoming town halls are important because they help us see what we are becoming, what we still lack, so we might have “equal concern” for one another.
