"Giving up control so that God could bring new life and hope was the call issued to the people of Israel in the time of the Judges. The same call has gone out to the people of God throughout time. This call is not to be heard only by congregations in decline; it must be heeded by leaders of all congregations. Even churches that are apparently healthy must be willing to die to their goals, their plans, and their expectations, so that God can make them alive. The life of the church belongs not to the leaders of the congregation, and not even to the congregation itself. Life is a gift from God, and the congregation's life belongs to God alone." Peter Bush (In Dying We Are Born)

City Grace's missional community serves in the community as a bridge between the love of God and homelessness.
