About Us

Christ City Church is a growing church, geographically located in the centre of the city of Vancouver, with a vision to establish a network of Neighbourhood Churches. We have planted in three other neighbourhoods (Kitsilano, East Vancouver and Surrey) and our vision is to continue to plant healthy, faithful churches in and around the city of Vancouver.

As a community, we are unapologetically centred on Jesus Christ and grounded in the authority of the Scriptures.

As such, we gather as a body of believers every Sunday for worship, Word, and sacrament, and we gather in smaller communities as Community Groups throughout the week for ongoing discipleship to Jesus. We believe the church is called to God and then sent by God to be on mission. We live out that sent identity through a life of 24/7 worship in the everyday. We believe the gospel informs our vocational life, our family life, and our recreational life, and that there is no part of our lives that is not impacted by the inbreaking reality of the renewal of all things that has begun in the resurrection of Jesus.

Our Statement of Faith reflects our core beliefs, but as a church we have a few theological distinctives: We are reformed in soteriology, continuationist in pneumatology, missional in ecclesiology, and complementarian in polity.
