Pastor Kyle here.   As I write this, Easter is right around the corner. It’s a unique season in the world (along with Christmas) when folks who are normally not open to attending church will consider it. That being said, the principles I’m going to write about are relevant whether the calendar happens to be…

  Luke 23:46 says “Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ And having said this he breathed his last.” It was at this moment that Jesus died after a level of pain and suffering we can hardly imagine. On the surface, Christ’s innocent death hardly looks…

For many years now, City Church has put on a massive community Easter Egg Hunt. We absolutely love doing it and we are doing it again! Take note that we have a new location for this year. Our friends at the Anaheim YMCA have agreed to host the hunt at their brand new facility off…

Dear City Church, Our team has been keeping a very exciting 2023 announcement tight to the chest for a considerable amount of time. The last couple times I remember feeling giddy on this scale was when Lisa and I knew she was pregnant with our babies. We are now ready to announce that City Church…

That spark set the ancient world on fire for Jesus. Fast-forwarding quite…

Hey City Church Friends! The calendar might read October 5th but the SoCal Temperatures these days sure don’t scream “Fall” to me. For that reason, I’m calling this an “early” fall update. I’ll break it down into a few main categories: 1. Great news about our parking lot. 2. The switch back to two services.…

Dear City Church, I am excited to formally announce several new staff roles that are bound to bless our church for years and years to come. Two out of three of these folks were already on staff prior but have been moved into new positions. The third person was not formally on staff but has…

Dear City Church, We all know how quickly time flies. Lisa and I experienced this in a fresh way this past Monday as our “baby girl” Emersyn went to her very first day of preschool. This small step in her life was a milestone for us and a huge win that we personally celebrated with…

  Dear City Church friends and family, There’s a famous old African proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”  When Lisa and I started City Church almost thirteen years ago, we hoped for staff that would go far with us. I praise God…
