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. Serving is also an important means of building connections with others in the church. 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.

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.
