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 the highest divorce rate in the nation.
  • 1 in 3 kids grows up without both parents at home.
  • Top 5 in teen births
  • 41% of families can’t afford basic necessities.
  • Students are still half a grade behind post-COVID.
  • Only 16% of seniors are college-ready.
  • Top 5 in violent crime

Each of us is affected by the pain and brokenness of our cities.

Many leaders are frustrated by fragmented and ineffective efforts to bring about real change.

But there is hope.

We bring churches together in three main areas.

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.

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.

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.

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.
