City Temple Community
Helping people connect with one another and with Jesus Christ is the heart of Christian community. Building Christian community is one of the primary aspects of God's vision for City Temple.
The Citadel Residential Community is one expression of community at City Temple. The Citadel Residential Community is a group of people from various cultures and backgrounds, most of whom live at the City Temple premises, who commit themselves to building a dynamic Christian community in the heart of London as they seek to fulfil God's vision for City Temple. Some Residential Community members work at City Temple, others are students, and others work in the city.
It is our hope that people who are a part of the Residential Community will find the freedom to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, as well as develop deep relationships with the other members of the Residential Community as well as other people involved with City Temple. We also hope that people will experience what the Bible calls koinonia (true community or fellowship) as they live in a residential community modelled on biblical values (cf. Acts 2:42-47 & 4:32-35).
In the Citadel Vision, the Residential Community members are foundational to the fulfilment of the Vision. Therefore, being a member of the Citadel Residential Community carries significant responsibilities in terms of the work that God is doing at City Temple. The expectations are high in terms of maintaining Christian character and serving others. Every member of the Residential Community formally covenants to live a Christian lifestyle, participate faithfully in the ministry of City Temple, and give a specified amount of practical and ministry service at City Temple each week.
