BEGIN TO BELONG

Church is not just an event we go to but a people we are a part of. We want to help you belong and guide you towards a flourishing life with Jesus.  You don't have to have it all together or have a religious background to engage. Jesus loves everyone.

Come to a Sunday Celebration Gathering.

If you are in our area and want to explore our community then coming to a Celebration Gathering is an easy way to start.

Interested in taking the next step to connect?

Your next step is the Next Steps Orientation Session on the Last Sunday of each month. It's 40 minutes and introduces how you can begin to belong with CityLights Church.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be religious to come?
No.  Our church community loves to help people explore Jesus and the fullness of life that he offers.  The curious, the skeptics, the spiritual-but-not-religious, the faithful, and the backslidden - we are here for you.  Learn more about exploring Jesus with us.

What type of church are you?
We are a Jesus-worshipping, Bible-loving, Spirit-filled church community that emphasizes both the Sunday Gathering (centralized) and Missional Communities (decentralized) who connect and serve throughout our cities.  We are focused on equipping reproducing disciples because we believe Jesus is calling you and has purpose for your life. It's not simply about going to church but being the church. We are connected with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada and Soma Family of churches.  Learn more about us. (link to about us page).

How can I join a group?
As we listed above, the first step is to come to NEXT STEPS. Sessions occur every month.  Then you can join the next Step One Explore Learning Cohort which will help you explore what it looks like to follow Jesus and do so with us. One can also test-drive a serving team.  This is where you start and as you get connected and walk through the learning cohorts, you will get to know us and we will get to know you.  This will help us discern how we can coach and guide you and what Missional Community (MC) could be a good fit for you.  

What is a Home Gathering and can I go to one?
Home Gatherings occur regularly on Sundays and include Bible discussion, stories, and communion.  They are public and you don't have to complete cohorts or be a part of a Missional Community to participate.  It's typically helpful to first come to a Celebration Gathering at the Centre first.

What is the Church Centre app?
This app is our digital home and is powered by Planning Center.  It includes our calendar, options to register for events and giving.  If one is a part of a serving team, MC, or d-group then those groups will have their info, calendars, and even group messaging all within this app.  Once connected, it becomes the one place with all the info.  Click here to get the Church Center app.
