A Church That Does Life Together
For the past 25 years, The City Church Batavia has been more than a place of worship. It has been a home for people looking for faith, family, and community. Located in Batavia, New York, the church has built a reputation for its welcoming atmosphere and strong commitment to helping people.
Founded on biblical teachings and the desire to share the Gospel, The City Church Batavia believes that faith is more than just a Sunday morning routine. “We learn every day and will continue to,” one church member said. This mindset has shaped the way the church grows and serves its community.
Humble Beginnings
Like many churches, The City Church started small. Its founders wanted a space where people could explore their faith without judgment. Over time, more people came, drawn by the church’s open and friendly environment.
“We started this church because of our faith,” a church leader shared. “We wanted a place where people could grow, not just in belief, but in life.”
The church’s simple but powerful message—faith, family, and friends—resonated with the Batavia community. It became a place where people could be honest about their struggles and find support in their faith.
A Mission That Never Changes
The City Church’s mission is clear:
“To ensure that every man, woman, and child has repeated opportunities to hear and see the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
The church stays focused on this mission by creating a space for learning, worship, and connection. Sunday and Thursday services are designed to be engaging and welcoming. There is no pressure—just an opportunity to hear the message and be part of a community.
“We do life together,” a member said. “That means when one of us is struggling, we all step in. When someone is celebrating, we celebrate together.”
Faith in Daily Life
For The City Church Batavia, faith is not something that stays inside the church walls. It’s a part of everyday life.
“My faith, biblical teaching, family, and mentors have shaped who I am,” said one of the church’s leaders.
This belief is what drives the church’s focus on helping others. Whether it’s supporting families in need or simply being there for someone going through a tough time, The City Church lives out its faith in real, practical ways.
A Place for Everyone
One of the reasons people are drawn to The City Church is its accepting atmosphere. There is no expectation of perfection. People come as they are.
“Faith is a journey,” a church member said. “Some people have been walking in it for years. Others are just getting started. Either way, they’re welcome here.”
This openness has made The City Church a place where people from all backgrounds and life experiences can come together. The focus is not on rules or rituals but on learning, growing, and supporting one another.
Weekly Gatherings
The City Church offers three services each week:
- Sundays at 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM
- Thursdays at 7:00 PM
Each service is designed to be a time of worship, learning, and connection. It’s a chance to step away from daily stress and focus on faith and community.
Looking to the Future
Even after 25 years, The City Church is still learning and growing. The church continues to seek new ways to serve its members and the Batavia community. But its mission remains the same: to help people, share faith, and build lasting relationships.
“We’re not perfect,” a church leader admitted. “But we believe in what we’re doing. And we’ll keep going as long as people need a place to belong.”
For those looking for faith, friendship, or simply a place to ask questions, The City Church Batavia offers an open door. No pressure. No judgment. Just a community doing life together.
