Get ready to be confused, but for a good cause:As of this week, we're officially building "a city within a city within a city." We've talked often about our vision, first stated by St. Augustine 1700+ years ago, to build our church community as "a city within a city," seeking the good of Fort Worth as we engage people where we live, play, and work.
But one thing we must do within the decentralized structure of The City Church is provide as many points of connection, communication, and community as possible. We've adopted a great online network, not to build a virtual community, but to enhance actual relationships within the church body. Building throughout the coming months, Villages and individuals may use our online network to share prayer requests, announce upcoming events, exchange goods and services and meet each others' needs in “The Marketplace.” Behind the scenes, it will also help leadership with administration and "back-end" aspects of church life. So it's an all-around great tool.
And here's the irony: the name of this online network is "The City." So is it easy to understand where some confusion might arise?! To alleviate as much of the semantic confusion as possible, we'll refer to this tool simply as "our online network." But regardless of its name, it's a fantastic tool that's already being used to build relationships, dive deeper into discussion, and share ideas, requests, etc. It's working to enhance The City Church.
