Local Community Support

By building bridges in our local community, C3 City Church partners with ministries that care for the most vulnerable in our community.

We believe that the key to transforming lives for Jesus is through the context of the relationships we build in our neighbourhoods.

Outward in Focus starts right here in our own backyard and in our own nation.
