About Us
Who is City Church?
We are a gospel-centred urban church that is passionate about the spiritual, social, and cultural renewal of the city of Lagos. We aim to keep the gospel - the good news about Jesus’ incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, coronation, and final revelation - and its meaning for our past, present, and future at the core of who we are and what we do.
Purpose
To build a community of Worshippers on mission.
Jesus saved us from sin into a new life, gave us a new identity, and brought us into a new community so we worship him by being his agents of renewal in this world.
Values
Love Jesus, Love People, Love Lagos.
Jesus embodied God’s love and expressed it to us through his death so we joyfully respond to his overwhelming love and obey his commands by choosing to love Jesus, love people and love Lagos.
Eldership
City Church is led by a team of Elders who are ordained by God and trained to be shepherds while modeling Christ who is the Chief Shepherd of the church.

Worship
Through the gospel, we have been given a new devotion towards God and one another. We reflect this in our gospel-shaped worship services designed to exalt God, edify Christians, evangelise non-Christians through Spirit filled songs of praise, powerful prayer sessions, expository Christ centred preaching, collective confession of sin and belief and celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
