For the City began with a simple yet powerful vision: to unite the body of Christ in Greenville, Texas, for the welfare of the city. Inspired by Jeremiah 29:7, a local pastor gathered with others to seek ways their churches could come together in worship and service, despite denominational differences.
What started as four churches joining in quarterly worship has now grown to include over 20 congregations working in harmony to serve the community. Through initiatives like a 4-day mission project—providing aid to the elderly, completing home repairs, beautifying public spaces, and organizing food drives—our goal is to meet physical needs while sharing the love of Christ.
We believe God calls His people to unity, service, and transformation. By setting aside differences and working together, we aim to make a lasting impact in Greenville—spiritually and practically. Join us as we become the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing hope, restoration, and the gospel to our city.
