Honor God
Gather as worshippers of God in spirit and in truth, giving Christ preeminence in our life together.
LIFE & MINISTRY
Every saint
equipped to serve.
At CIY, ministry is not presented as the work of a few. Our purpose is to worship God, build up the Body of Christ, and help evangelize the world — furnishing each saint for the work of ministry.
A LIFE OF PARTICIPATION
From belonging
to becoming.
Our vision is a growing, interdependent community of believers: Spirit-filled, growing in holiness, developing their gifts, worshipping God, serving Him, living as salt and light, making disciples, and sharing in the ministry of reconciliation.

The ministry of
reconciliation.
CIY's teaching calls believers not only to hold the message of reconciliation, but to live it — witnessing, teaching, preaching, serving and bringing the hope and life of Christ to others.
Specific local ministry teams and departments will be added when official congregation information is provided. We won't invent ministry names that are not established by the church.
