City Groups are continuing to meet, whether in-person or online, and we would love for you to connect with a group so you can experience the joy of growing in your faith in community. If you are already in a City Group, but your group is unsure how best to connect in this season, we want to help you take your existing group online. We’ve developed resources to help you easily transition to a virtual environment.
City Group Leader Training
2.18 | 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM | West
When we describe what City Groups are, we often talk about communities of people who are being transformed by the gospel. That sounds compelling in theory, but it can be quite elusive in practice. This training will take the mystery out of the process and help you lead genuine transformation in your groups. Childcare will not be provided at this event.

City Group Leader Training
Saturday, August 26, 2023 | 9 AM - 12 PM | Midtown
In 2 Timothy 4:2, Paul tells Timothy to "preach the word. Be prepared in season and out of season." His aim was to prepare Timothy to lead and teach in every season of life and ministry. As group leaders, we could use the same encouragement. This training is for all current and potential leaders to help navigate the seasons and cycles of City Group leadership so that your group can thrive and multiply. Breakfast & lunch provided. Childcare registration deadline is 8.12.

City Groups are missional communities that multiply disciples of Jesus. This means a City Group is a community of Christ followers that are being spiritually transformed through the reading of God’s Word, living out biblical fellowship as a family, and intentionally pursuing mission for the purpose of demonstrating and declaring the gospel to specific neighborhoods and networks in the city. We want everyone to be a part of a City Group to experience the family of God in real ways and continually grow as disciples who love Jesus and love one another more every day.
Citylight Church is committed to both gathering and scattering as the church. Jesus has called us to make disciples and we believe the best way to make disciples is to scatter throughout the week in City Groups. A City Group is a mid-sized community that is being transformed by the Gospel, growing as a spiritual family, and serving a specific neighborhood or network of Omaha. We want everyone to be a part of a City Group to experience a spiritual family that shares life together and serves a common purpose.
