Women’s Gathering
Join the women of Cities as we gather in the Sanctuary for some coffee & pastries as we fellowship with one another, worship together, and hear from Abi Kozak on what it looks like to have a hopeful heart.
Coffee With Pastors
If you are new to Cities or looking to get more involved then this event is for you! On the first Sunday of every month, some of our pastors will be downstairs in the Conference Room after the worship service to connect with you and share more about our church: who we are, our discipleship structures, and what it looks like to be a covenant member. We’ll also offer plenty of time for questions and conversation.
Membership Meeting
Our next membership meeting is Sunday, May 5. We will begin around noon so that you have time to find lunch and transition childcare after the worship service. Please feel free to bring your food with you to the meeting. Please sign up if your kids will be in childcare (ages 0-10; Summit Room).
Student Night
If you are in grades 7-12, join us for a night of snacks, games, a devotional, and life groups. Contact Tyler Morris (tyler@citieschurch.com) with any questions. This will be our last Student Night of the school year.
Women's Spring Book Study
Join us this spring as we read The End of the Christian Life by J. Todd Billings and meet together for discussion. Living in a culture that is largely silent about death, many Christians feel ignorant or lost when it comes to living and dying well. This book “invites us to discover how the countercultural path of embracing our mortal limits can enliven true Christian hope in a death-denying age.” We invite you to join us as we go deep into this relevant topic together.
Wednesday Gathering
The Wednesday Gathering is back and with an updated format! We will simply share a meal and fellowship together.
Child Dedication
Our next Child Dedication is Sunday, May 19. Sign up to let us know if you are interested in dedicating your child to the Lord in the service with us. Contact Pastor Mike Schumann with any questions.
Summit Steeple Open House
As we work to restore Summit Avenue’s iconic steeple, Cities Church invites you to a community-wide open house. Learn about the history of the building, its architecture, and get a sneak peek at the work being done. We’d love to see you there!

Manfully Before The Throne: Prayer & Fasting for Christian Men
On their knees, Christian men own their weakness and become their strongest. Jesus taught us all how to pray, and his apostles give some specifics for men. Join the men of Cities Church, as we eat Chick-Fil-A for breakfast, talk about fasting, and reflect on what God says about prayer to men in particular. We’ll meet upstairs in the Chapel and hear from Pastor David Mathis.
Community Group Leaders Summit
After the morning worship service, we’ll meet upstairs in the Chapel from 11:45am-1:15pm. Lunch will be provided for whole families and then the kids will be dismissed to childcare. We hope to see all of our CG Leaders here – remember to RSVP!
