City Movement Church
Following Jesus Together in the RDU
In RDU As It Is In Heaven
Our vision is taken directly from the lips of Jesus, Here as in Heaven. This is the vision for our lives, our city, our campuses, and our world. As a response, we endeavor to become a spiritual family that seek revival and renewal in our cities and communities through Practicing The Way of Jesus, Together in the RDU. Our dream is that as we live this way our lives, our communities, and the RDU will be transformed.
Our Three Pursuits:
We pursue these Three Pursuits in the context of a Gospel-centered community.
-
We gather as a community to center our lives around the presence of Jesus—seeking to know Him, love Him, and be with Him. Through shared practices like prayer, Scripture, worship, and communion, we create space to encounter God together, respond to His presence, and be formed by His grace.
-
We commit to the lifelong journey of becoming like Jesus—not alone, but in community. Together, we practice spiritual rhythms that shape us over time, pursue honest relationships that encourage growth, and create space to learn and apply the gospel to every part of life. In all things, we seek to follow Jesus daily and be formed into His image.
-
As a community of people following in the way of Jesus, we exist for the good of our city and our world. This means living our life on mission in such a way that our city and world looks more like Heaven.

We are believing God to help us plant this new church with a committed team of 75 people. God is already doing great things in the city of Raleigh, and we believe He’s calling many to be part of something new. Would you prayerfully consider joining our Pioneer Team? This means committing to the mission—from serving on vital teams like Kids, Sound, Hospitality, and Worship to simply being a consistent inviter, helping us spread the word by inviting friends, neighbors, and co-workers to our monthly interest gatherings. At the very least, we ask every Pioneer Team member to commit to regularly inviting others into the journey. Whether you lead, serve, or invite, there’s a place for you in what God is building.
