Our Story

Believe it or not, Our story Began in 2012…

In 2012, a few people gathered in a living room and asked God to write a new story. They began to imagine a church that would not just gather on Sunday mornings, but would scatter as the Church throughout the week. A church that would exist to multiply disciples and churches to carry the good news of the Gospel to every neighborhood and network of their city.

God did immeasurably more than those men and women on their knees in a living room could have ever asked or imagined, and the Citylight movement was born.

You’ve been prayed for.

Before anything happens, prayer occurs. We are committed to being a prayer movement before we are a church planting movement. We pray for laborers, provision, vision, and leading. We don’t want to simply try and execute a good plan. We want to continually hear from the Spirit of God and join in His redemptive work!

From There…

One by one our leadership team started to put their “yes” on the table, and the Core Team began to pray, train and gather.
