Together
we are building flourishing communities
A united and thriving Church is the greatest hope for our cities and the world.
CityChurch Network
CityChurch Network is a relational network of churches working together for the good of our cities.
We live in a culture of growing division, decline, and despair.
Arkansas has one of the highest divorce rates in the nation.
Less than half of our kids can read at grade level.
Our state ranks below the national average in 11 of 16 child well-being indicators.
Violent crime rates are double the national average.
Historically, the Church has been the greatest force for good in the world, establishing hospitals, orphanages, public education, the Red Cross, and the Geneva Convention. It led the way in prison reform, the abolition of slavery, and the Civil Rights Movement.
What the Church accomplished in the past is still possible today.
We bring churches together in three main areas.
For over 25 years, CityChurch Network has connected, equipped, and mobilized a diverse network of over 70 churches—and adding more each year—to show the love of Christ to their neighbors.
Our success is rooted in bringing churches together around three transformational areas:
Extraordinary Prayer
We help churches work together in prayer that is increasing, unceasing, and persevering.
Equipped Leaders
We help churches work together in equipping leaders who train leaders in establishing believers in the essentials of the faith
Flourishing Families
We help churches work together to build strong marriages, healthy families, and flourishing futures for youth
The biggest issues in our city are too big for any one of us, but they aren’t too big for all of us.
Together we are building flourishing communities!
“Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
Jeremiah 29:7
Inspired by these words by the prophet Jeremiah, churches are coming together to pray for and seek a flourishing city.
We love our city, and we believe it takes every church in the city to reach the city. That’s why we’ve been involved with CityChurch Network and the Arkansas Prayer Summit from the very beginning.
Bill Elliff Pastor, The Summit Church
In a culture where divisiveness is rampant, it was awe-inspiring to witness churches that don’t look alike come together in discipling, equipping, and commissioning leaders. What God started through this leadership initiative with CityChurch Network is exactly what Central Arkansas needs to expand the kingdom into broken and unengaged areas.
Adam Miller Missions Pastor, Geyer Springs FBC
I have known the CityChurch Network Leadership for more than twenty years. They have a proven track record of uniting churches for the good of the community. I highly recommend that every Christian leader connect with them to help bring significant transformation to their city and ministry.
Robert Lewis Pastor, Founder – BetterMan
The CityChurch Network was a critical part of getting The CALL launched in Arkansas. They brought church leaders together from varying denominations and locations to unite in the rallying cry for the Church to provide the needed foster and adoptive families for abused and neglected children.
