As followers of Christ we are committed to being strong in a life of ministry and worship.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” — 1 Peter 4:10
Being strong in ministry is discovering, developing, and deploying our gifts as “good stewards of the grace of God.”
By serving and giving our time to others and to God, our service becomes an agent of growth for us as God continues to refine our lives. Because of this, we ask all members to commit their time and talents to kingdom purposes by serving (at least once a month) in a ministry at CityBridge or with one of our ministry partners.

Our desire is to be a place where students can be known and accepted, taught about Jesus, and challenged to grow.
We believe life change happens best in the context of relationships, so our leaders play a strategic role in the discipleship of students. Those serving with us are considered pastors of their own small churches, entrusted with shepherding the flock under their care and living lives worthy of imitating (Heb 13:7, 1 Thess. 2:8).
Serving in Student ministry is an excellent opportunity to see God do amazing things in the life of students, be challenged to grow in the gifts that God has given you, and be connected to a body of believers on mission for God’s glory. Opportunities to serve in student ministry are the following:
Small Group Leader – Disciples a small group of students. Models full devotion to Christ that students will follow.
Welcome Desk – Greet students and families between the 9 and 11 am services on Sundays. Helps register new students to connect them with a small group. Connects new families with staff and small group leaders.
A/V Team - Arrives early to assist with audio/visual needs during teaching. Training will be provided.
Email students@citybridgechurch.org if you have any questions about serving in this area.

City Engagement Opportunities

We are excited to see what the Lord is going to do in our neighborhoods and in Collin Country through intentional neighbors like you.
Be An Ambassador for Your Neighbor Zone
What is a Neighbor Zone? A Neighbor Zone is the geographical grouping we have created to help our members connect and draw physical boundaries as described in Acts 17:26 for which members can focus their ministry in. Each Neighbor Zone will have an Ambassador over it who acts as the liaison between members within their zones and the church.
What else does an Ambassador do? Ambassadors will help members within their zones connect, help facilitate outreach events in their zone, encourage members to be on mission and much more! See the full job description of an Ambassador here.
Apply to Serve as a Neighboring Ambassador
Not ready to be an Ambassador? We understand engaging neighbors can be scary. We want to help you! If you need help, equipping, or have additional questions, our neighboring team would love to help you.
How To Start in Your Neighborhood: SHARE
“Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.” 1 Thessalonians 2:8
Start with prayer: Ask God to help you connect with your neighbors of all ages, ethnicities and religions. Pray for courage, patience, and love as you start new relationships.
Have real conversations: Don’t be afraid to initiate, most people enjoy talking about themselves! Ask about their family, work, interests, and faith. Share your story with authenticity.
Ask how you can help: Groceries, pet-sitting, meals, yard work or prayer, the close proximity of neighbors opens countless doors for serving and connection.
Respect their preferences: What blesses one neighbor might intimidate another! Use discernment, and engage in ways that work with each personality, including yours.
Endure and enjoy: Neighboring is a marathon, not a sprint. Take your time building deep relationships, with the goal of sharing not only the gospel, but your life as well.
Email rebecca.frech@citybridgechurch.org if you have any questions about serving with our Neighboring ministry.

Our Facilities Team members have a desire to meet tangible needs around our church so that we can continue to share the gospel and make disciples through CityBridge.
Unlike most CityBridge ministries, the Facilities Team doesn't operate on a regular schedule, rather we work on a project basis. Periodically, an email will be sent to everyone on the team about upcoming projects. Team members can then choose which projects align with their schedules and skill sets. Whether you can help by swinging a hammer, planting petunias, or feeding the people who do, we have a place for you!
If this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, it is easy to get started. Simply click the link below and fill out the form. From there, you will be sent the latest project email so that you can get plugged in.
Have questions? Feel free to contact facilities@citybridgechurch.org and we can help.
