One Church Many Locations

City Church has launched its second location in the Mission District, meeting at Horace Mann Middle School: 3351 23rd St. at 10 AM. We are seeking to duplicate the DNA of City Church as best we can to see God do in other locations what we have seen Him do on Sutter St. It's really that simple. One church, one vision, one elder board, one diaconate, one ministry structure, one bank account, one everything! Yet in many locations, enabling us to fulfill the call of God in San Francisco.

Why Multi-Site?

Easiest answer: We are following Jesus in mission to reach the whole city, which can't be done from one location. Early on at a gathering of some original City Churchers we asked this question: What would serve San Francisco the best, a church of 4000, or 10, 400 person churches?" Our answer at the time was: No one church can fulfill our vision of following Christ in mission to every nook and cranny of San Francisco. We would tweak that now to say no one location of our church can reach the city. We need to be his presence as broadly as possible and to love each area of our city as locally as possible, and we cannot do that from one location.

Imagine
As you watch hundreds of people stream up for communion next Sunday, close your eyes and imagine that scene being repeated all over the city as people hear the gospel, and begin to follow Christ in mission. Imagine the impact of 3 or 5 or 10 such scenarios taking place in our city, each with the commitment to embody their faith through loving the city and investing in it's health and peace? San Francisco would never be the same, and would become more and more as we have said over the years, "a place where Jesus Christ is known, honored, and served."
