Passion Conference is a conference designed for young adults aged 18-25. Since 1997, the Passion movement has had a singular mission—calling students and leaders from campuses across the nation and cities around the world to live for what matters most.

Parent Child Dedication
IN THE BIBLE, WE FIND PARENTS BRINGING THEIR CHILDREN TO JESUS. HE HELD THEM, PRAYED FOR THEM, AND TOLD US TO WELCOME THEM. JESUS LOVED CHILDREN.
Here at City Church, we value families and love children.
We believe the upcoming generation, like an arrow, needs to be released to tap into their full potential so they can change their world for Jesus. We want to come along side our parents and help point their children towards Jesus. One way this happens is through parent-child dedication.
Parent Child Dedication is on November 24th
Please take a moment and fill out the form and download our parent child dedication values (you'll need to bring that form with you to orientation). If you have any concerns or questions about the policy or need clarification on the parent child dedication process please feel free to email Zoe Dill at zdill@thecitychurch.cc and she’ll contact you within the week.

Pray for Me
Details
The Pray for Me Campaign exists to create a vast web of intergenerational
relationships for young people. We see sustainable faith as the goal, intergenerational ministry as the process, and prayer as the catalyst.
We envision a Church that is empowered to pass on a sustainable faith to the next generation.
Because passing on a genuine faith is most effective when we can taste the sweetness of following Jesus from every generation, we hope to see every young person surrounded by a team of Prayer Champions from multiple generations.
We desire to equip those Prayer Champions to pray strategically for the next
generation. The Pray for Me Prayer Guides train Prayer Champions to pray specific, Scripture-based prayers for children or students through the lens of the 7 Essentials — seven aspects of life that are necessary for someone to flourish in living faithfully before
God and man.
And we believe that prayer provides an easy, natural, and non-threatening way to initiate relationships across generational lines.
We hope you will consider pouring into the next generation by being a Prayer Champion.
