WELCOME HOME
Our Pastors | KENT + ALLI MUNSEY
Kent and Alli Munsey are the Senior Pastors of City Church Chicago, a dynamic non-denominational church located in the heart of downtown Chicago. In 2010, they took a bold leap of faith, planting City Church in the vibrant River West neighborhood. Their dream of seeing people come to know Jesus week by week and actively taking back territory for the Kingdom has been one of the greatest joys of their lives.
Pastors Kent and Alli are also the proud parents to three wonderful boys: Malachi, Kausti, and Tahj. They believe that family is to be your first ministry, believing that If you are faithful to build God's house he will be faithful to build your house. They truly believe that in and through every season, God continues to be faithful.
INTEGRITY LEADERSHIP MINISTRIES
Integrity Leadership Ministries exists to provide rest, relationships, and resources for pastors, ministry leaders, and their families. ILM has been in existence for over 30 years and primarily champions its vision through an annual getaway.
Kent and Alli have been longtime members of ILM and are honored to have the great opportunity to serve as Directors and now as Presidents. ILM has had a great impact on them personally as leaders and has been a great source of support and relationships for their whole family.
OUR MISSION + Vision
to create opportunities where Jesus is presence and lives are transformed.
City Church Chicago aims to LOVE people to new life in Christ, LIVE planted in community, and LEAD change in our world.
Our Vision Grips
We have four vision grips at City Church: give, serve, bring and belong. We grab onto the vision by GIVING our time, talent, and treasure, SERVING on a team, by BRINGING others on the journey with us, and BELONGING in community through groups. Grabbling on to these grips keeps us connected to City Church.
OUR BELIEFS
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.
We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues.
We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer and the ‘breaking of bread’.
We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfil our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.
We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and blessed lives in order to help others more effectively.
We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
