Today’s the Day!!! It’s Celebration Time at CityPoint! We’re bringing together our Church Anniversary, Back to Church Sunday, and the launch of our second service for one unforgettable Welcome Home Sunday!  For 17 years, God has been faithful to us as a church and what better way to celebrate the growth, by adding a second service.  We are celebrating that God is continuously adding to our church, and it’s because of your intentionality in inviting family and friends. We want to continue spreading the Good News of Christ! And…let’s have some fun while doing it!  After each service, stick around for food, a petting zoo, and pony rides for the kids.

 

Want to be part of something amazing? Join the Dream Team — the incredible group of volunteers using their gifts to help build the Kingdom of God right here at CityPoint! As our church grows and prepares to launch two Sunday services, we’re looking for more hands, hearts, and smiling faces to help make it all happen. No matter what you’re passionate about, there’s a place for you! If you feel God nudging you to make a difference or you’re looking for deeper community, this is your moment. The Dream Team isn’t just about serving — we’re the heartbeat of the church. Join the Dream Team today!

 

At CityPoint, we believe in making a real difference in our community, and one way we’re doing that is through our No Kids Cold Coat Giveaway. We don’t want any child to walk to school cold, and that’s why on Saturday, October 4th at 10AM, we’ll be giving away 300 coats to kids in need. But we can’t do this without your help. Just $20 provides a brand-new coat for one child, and you can give today via Zelle or Text at 312-313-1800 using the keyword “Coats.” We’re also looking for volunteers to help make the event a success—so if you’d like to serve, sign up today. Let’s come together to keep kids warm this winter!

 

It’s that time again for Baby Dedications, which will take place Sunday, October 12th.  If you are interested in dedicating your child back to the Lord, you can sign up here. Deadline to sign up is Sunday, September 28st.

 

In 2025 digitalKENTE design studio is partnering with CityPoint Community Church to host a fashion showcase to highlight the creativity in apparel and accessory design living within Bronzeville. With this fashion event, during Chicago Fashion Week and Open House Chicago, we are honoring the legacy of this historic neighborhood and investing in its future. This event seeks to reawaken Bronzeville’s rich history of creativity and style while spotlighting emerging talent, celebrating Black artistry, and inspiring a new generation to carry the torch. We’re bringing the community together for an evening of celebration and excellence in craft while celebrating the historic contributions of the Black community in this neighborhood. We need an event committee and street team to work out logistics, and marketing! If you are interested in helping to plan this historical event, Sign up here! 
We’re circling back to our Brown Bag Food Pantry initiative. We’re still collecting donations to help stock our shelves—but we want to make sure we’re offering quality to those in need. As you bring your items in, please make sure they are new, unopened, and not expired. We had to toss a few donations in April because they weren’t usable, and we want to ensure that what we give is something we’d gladly receive ourselves. If you’d prefer to support financially, you can do that too! Just text the keyword Food Pantry followed by the dollar amount to 312-313-1800. Let’s continue to be a blessing to our community.
