Community Groups

PRACTICING THE WAY OF JESUS TOGETHER

Groups are the center for connection, discipleship, and mission at Church of the City.

Through this ministry, we hope you’ll encounter the tangible presence of God, be transformed into Christ’s image, and live in the way of Jesus for the renewal of the city — all in community.

You can explore all of our groups below, and hope you will consider joining a Community Group this season.

If you are a parent looking for specific groups centered on parenting and family life here in New York, we invite you to join one of our Parenting Discipleship Groups this season.

Core Groups

CORE Groups are self-organized single gendered groups of 2-5 people who gather to practice some of Jesus’ most forgotten commands. Click the link below to learn more about how these are structured and how to form your own CORE Group.
