City Vision at a Glance
We are a unique Christian non-profit ministry headquartered Minneapolis, MN with the purpose of strategically mobilizing, equipping, and serving the Church for Kingdom Building. We have branch offices in several U.S. Cities and we serve as a model for other cities in reaching their own cities.
City Vision Identifies ethnic, religious, and cultural trends as well as ministry opportunities and then Connects the Church to those needs, trends, and opportunities through partnerships, events, and education. We have created a safe evangelically neutral place to form partnerships and conduct city reaching/citywide projects/events.
City Vision has a strong cross-cultural, Glocal (Global + Local = Glocal) emphasis. City Vision has three main roles in the Body of Christ in Discovering and Transforming the New City:
- City and Glocal Visionary: Expert in researching, networking, learning, seeing and understanding religious, economic, ethnic, and urban trends and informing the Church of the impact of what we see happening now and in the future.
- City and Glocal Strategist: Creating ministry strategies, models, plans, networks, coaching, scouting new leaders, training, and teaching the Whole Church to reach the Whole City with the Whole Gospel.
- City and Glocal Catalyst: Mobilizing, convening, networking, and organizing city reaching and citywide events, projects, and church planting to collaboratively engage the Church in the New mission field opportunities in the city.
- Where and Who Do We Work With: Over our history we have worked with over 1,100 churches and ministries from 61 denominations, including over 90 new church plants, and many ethnic/immigrant groups.
