Formation Class - Faith & Work
What is God’s will for my career?
How can I be true to my faith when I’m working in an environment that values the bottom line over doing what is right and just?
Does my work matter apart from making a salary to provide for me and my family?
If you’ve ever wrestled with these questions or others, our summer Formation Class seeks to help you connect some of these dots. We will spend two weeks looking at how our relationship to Jesus impacts our daily work.
Whether you are the leader of a large organization or serve as a volunteer in your community, your work matters in God's bigger story. Join us as we pause to reimagine work through the lens of God's original design and intent.

Prayer Team Training
We value being a praying church — one who continually seeks the Lord together in a variety of ways and means. One of the primary ways we live into this desire is through our Sunday morning prayer team. This team of volunteers serves our church family by being available for prayer after the sermon each week.
If you are currently on our Prayer Team, would like to join the team, or would like to grow in praying for others in general, we are hosting a Prayer Team Training on Sunday, February 5th from 12:00pm-1:30pm. Bring a lunch and join us!
Childcare not provided.
Please note - Our Sunday Prayer Team is only open for current Citizens Church members.

Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday marks the start of the church season of Lent. It’s a symbolic time to reflect upon our brokenness, our need for forgiveness and the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion.
Our Ash Wednesday Gathering will be a chance to start our church-wide fast in this season, as well as to remember that “we are dust, and to dust we shall return.” (Gen 3:18).
Join us on Wednesday, March 2nd at 6pm at 1324 The Plaza as we sing together, hear God’s Word, and remember this truth together.
Childcare will be provided.
