Connect to Your Community

The City puts an end to the age-old problem of visitors falling through the cracks by giving them a non-threatening, relational way to take the first steps toward belonging. Rather than leaving visitors to fend for themselves or forcing them through a cold assimilation system to find the right small group or ministry opportunity, The City enables your church to provide each newcomer with a warm, personal welcome into your church community.

The City fosters deeper community by enabling everyone in your church to share daily life with the individuals and groups that make up their community. By leveraging the best aspects of social networking, The City reinforces and enhances the real relationships, conversations, and community interactions that make up the life of your church.
