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.

When we are hurt, angry, or afraid, we write stories in our hearts about someone else’s motivations, and then act upon them. The command to not give false testimony (Exodus 20:16) is all about character assassination. When there is a breach in a relationship, we turn up the volume on our feelings first so we might protect the tender part of us. Those front-facing emotions over-simplify complex issues, and write narratives about the others’ motivations to justify our betrayal. It’s a spiritual battle - Paul reminds us that unprocessed anger gives the devil an opening to distort our hearts. Satan reinforces the accusations we lodge against our friends.It grieves the Holy Spirit when we cut one another down with our words, because we are marring the image of God.
One of the quickest ways we bond with others is through gossip, uniting around a common enemy. We position ourselves as the hero; we paint others as a villain; and we create tribes based on mutual suspicion. This is contrary to the whole spirit of the Body of Christ.

It has become an annual rhythm for us to pause community groups in the month of June, and host dinners around the city that promote the forging of new relationships in our community.

Open Tables will run from June 16th to 25th. When you sign up, you will be connected with a host home who will provide a good meal and space for conversation with people you may not know on a deep level yet.

Let us know your interest, what part of town you live in, and any dietary restrictions you may have by signing up via the link on The Weekly.

How do we know if the Spirit is present amongst our people in the last days?
We are devoted to the apostles’ teaching, in community, allowing the holy scriptures to translate us as we pour over them together.
We break bread together, so that we might become the Body of Christ in our day.
We pray together, joining our voices with the Whole Church to see heaven come to earth.
We are radically generous to one another. We give to support the church and to help those in times of need.

What was shattered and confused at Babel is now bound back together at Pentecost. It was the hubris of humanity to assume we could build a shortcut to heaven. And we humans have been doing this ever since - we’ll cast vision, we’ll develop plans, we’ll save ourselves! Where has that gotten us? Pentecost is the birthday of the church, and a reminder that God works through a diversity of people to brings us back into unity in the Spirit. Pentecost, the life of the Spirit, sounds like more babble if you don’t know what to listen for!

“Your true identity is as a child of God. This is the identity you have to accept. Once you have claimed it and settled in it, you can live in a world that gives you much joy as well as pain. You can receive the praise as well as the blame that comes to you as an opportunity for strengthening your basic identity, because the identity that makes you free is anchored beyond all human praise and blame. You belong to God, and it is as a child of God that you are sent into the world.” - Henri Nouwen

To bless another is to call forth what is truest about them in the eyes of God, and to open them to what God desires to do. We all yearn for someone to tell us we are doing a good job. But too often validation of our performance can end up being a sort of curse, because it denies the deeper truth of who we are to God. James call curses the language of hell because we speak things over others that deny the gift of their identity in Christ. Even words of validation can make us strive to achieve or perform our way into acceptance. Blessings, however, go deeper than merely affirming our behavior. Benedictions call forth the truest things about us, especially when we can’t see it ourselves.

As our kids grow, we want to provide them with opportunities to be discipled at all stages of life, providing genuine moments of connecting, worship and learning about Jesus together. This summer we are launching our new youth group, for students from 6th to 12th grade.

Our initial meet-up will be on Monday, June 15th from 6:30 to 8:30pm at Keg Social (12850 Waterford Lakes Pkwy). This will be a time to meet our youth leaders, play games and eat good food together. Over the summer our students will join Summit Youth at their events, with breakout sessions led by our leaders Brad and Christina Hauer.

Sign up on The Weekly for more information, or reach out directly to Sarah Faye Mulchan via Slack.

Words are powerful. They give shape to what is in our heart, and they can change the course of someone’s life. We would love if “sticks and stones” were true. But it isn’t. Such a seemingly small thing as the tongue can have enormous consequences in others’ lives. We naturally live according to the praise and blame of the world, hanging our confidence on what others say about us, allowing them to define us. It is no wonder God continuously invites us to examine how we speak to one another, for “the tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18:21).

There was a man all alone;
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
“For whom am I toiling,” he asked,
“and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”
This too is meaningless—
a miserable business!
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
(Ecclesiastes 4:8-11)
