LifeGroups
In our neighborhood-hosted LifeGroups, we gather weekly to build deeper relationships, pray for one another, study God’s Word, and serve together. Our smaller communities are a microcosm of the church body and help us live our our mission to celebrate the Gospel and be a blessing to the Twin Cities (and beyond). Our hope is that everyone who calls CityLife Church home would also have a LifeGroup home.
A Note on Group Organization: The groups are organized more or less by geography and are relationship based rather than content or stage-of-life based. Why? Closer proximity makes it easier to share life and be involved with one another more regularly and spontaneously.

We have a lot of children in the church, and we love them all! We are delighted to offer a number of ways for children to be loved and grow in the Lord, including ample opportunities for them to build relationships with others in their church family (kids and grownups alike).
Nursery
Children are always welcome in our worship service. Additionally, we have a nursery for kids birth to age 3 available during our worship service. In the nursery, kids are cared for with help of volunteers from the church family. They get a snack, a Bible lesson and/or songs, and lots of loving attention!
KidsLife Classes
Our Sunday school classes are for kids aged pre-school through high school. These Bible classes run in blocks, usually mid-September to Christmas with a couple weeks off, then early January to May with summers off. Though under the umbrella of KidsLife, our Reformed Youth Fellowship (RYF) offer specialized programming for middle school-high school students.
Safety for our kids: CityLife takes the security of our children very seriously and we screen and train every single youth volunteer using the SafeChurch program. For details, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our leadership.

Men’s Ministry
The Men’s Ministry Team makes and equips disciples who faithfully pursue righteousness by restoring them when they fail and cultivating meaningful relationships with men which are founded on the Gospel. Men of CityLife meet for Bible studies, roundtable discussions, social events and retreats to encourage one another in their relationships with one another and with God. Contact men@citylifetc.org to join the email group and stay in the loop.

We love college students, and we welcome students from many colleges near us, including: Hamline University, Macalester College, University of Minnesota, University of Northwestern—Saint Paul, Bethel University, St. Catherine University, University of St. Thomas, Concordia University, and Bethlehem College and Seminary. Additionally, we host Reformed University Fellowship at the University of Minnesota. RUF is a Gospel-centered, Bible-believing campus ministry of the PCA.
