A New Church Is Coming to Lake County.
The City Church is launching a campus — and you're invited to be part of it from day one.
You're Invited to Be Part of It
For 13 years, The City Church has been a place where people Know God, Live in Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference in their communities. Now we're bringing that same spirit to Lake County.
Our Lake County campus launches Sunday, October 18, 2026 — and we're building it together with people just like you.
Whether you've been part of The City Church for years, you've been looking for a new church home, or you've just been curious about faith — there's a place for you here. The campus doesn't start with the doors opening on October 18. It starts now.

Launching a campus takes resources — for equipment, marketing, staff, and outreach. If you'd like to invest in what God is doing in Lake County, every gift moves us closer to the dream.

Welcome Home Sunday
The day we've been building toward. Worship, community, and celebration as we officially launch our Lake County campus. Come as you are — you're invited.
Picture Yourself on October 18
Welcome Home Sunday is going to feel like a celebration — because it is one. We're going to worship together. We're going to hear from Pastor Tony. We're going to meet our neighbors. There will be coffee, kids' programming, and a community that's been praying for this day for months.
If you've never been to The City Church, this is the perfect day to show up. If you have — this is the day we've been building toward.
About The City Church
The City Church is a community of people who believe Jesus changes everything. We've been in Ashtabula for 13 years, and we've watched God do remarkable things — marriages restored, addictions broken, purpose discovered, generations changed.
We're not a perfect church. We're a real one. Led by Pastor Tony and Pastor Faythe, our mission is simple: help people Know God, Live in Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference.
That mission is what we're bringing to Lake County. Same heart. Same vision. New zip code.

When does the Lake County campus officially launch?
Sunday, October 18, 2026 — Welcome Home Sunday.
Where will services be held?
The auditorium at Lakeland Community College, 7700 Clocktower Drive. Free parking in any surrounding lot.
What's a launch team?
Launch team members are the people who help us build the campus before the doors open. They come to monthly meetings, invite friends, and serve at the new campus when it launches. You don't have to be a member of The City Church to join — you just have to be excited about what we're building.
Do I have to attend every event?
No. We'd love to see you when you can make it, but we know life happens. Sign up, stay connected, and come when you can.
I don't live in Lake County. Can I still be involved?
Absolutely. Many of our launch team members live in Ashtabula and the surrounding area. We need people who believe in the mission, regardless of where they live.
What kind of church is The City Church?
We're a non-denominational, Spirit-filled, Jesus-centered church. Our services include worship, prayer, and practical, biblical teaching. We believe church should feel like family.
