aboutus
The City Church exists to help you Connect to, Grow in, and Serve God. I hope you take some time to visit this Sunday. I think you will find a loving church that takes care of each other, relies on the power of the Holy Spirit, and has a passionate vision to reach the unchurched people of Springdale and Northwest Arkansas. We believe in the power of the word of God and preach from it verse by verse each week. If you decide to visit be sure to find the Plan Your Visit page and when you get here come and find me, I am looking forward to meeting you.

Love Your Neighbor
Love Your Neighbor is an outreach program of The City Church. Our plan is to strengthen communities by promoting unity, feeding people, and providing for their needs. Once a month we will roll into a neighborhood and set up a grill and some tables. We are excited to see where this program takes our church.
