Serve The City (STC) is both a noun and a verb. It is our name and it is our intention. Beginning in 1998, we have served together in over 50 different serve the city efforts. We believe one significant way we can serve Jesus Christ is by serving the needs of our cities.
In the Old Testament portion of the Bible there is a verse that begins with “Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you….” The Church has a living mandate from the Lord to be a blessing to our communities and neighborhoods, to actually "seek the welfare’ of the cities we live in.
Our common Statement of Faith is called The Lausanne Covenant (LC). The LC was signed by national church leaders from 150 nations in 1974 in Lausanne Switzerland . The North American Lausanne Committee came into being after The Lausanne Conference in 1974; in 1992 they changed their name to The Mission America Coalition. STC is affiliated with the Mission America Coalition which has leadership from over 80 denominations and 450 national non-profit ministries.
Please note: We do not consider ourselves to be the only true followers of Jesus Christ in this region.
We do hope the contents of this web site will be both informative and encouraging. Your comments or questions are welcomed.
