Together
we are building flourishing communities
I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one — as your are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.
John 17:21
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.
A united and thriving Church is the greatest hope for our cities and the world.
“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.
CityChurch Network
CityChurch Network is a relational network of churches working together for the good of our cities.

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 can build a flourishing community!
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.
