Lovely place for us and our kids :)
Cityview is great at explaining what the Bible is telling us, and how we should apply that to our own lives. Overall amazing experience every week!
Jan 2026 Update: 01/04/2026 Sermon by Paster Keith Cityview Bible Church Topic: Fasting Definition/Purpose: Fasting is the temporary denial of a legitimate desire (like food) in order to pursue more of God and less of the world; in other words, it is a tool to follow Christ more closely and resist temptation. History of Fasting in the Bible: There are numerous examples of fasting in the Bible, practiced not only by Jesus but by many other people throughout scripture. Invitation & Practical Tips: Drink plenty of water. Avoid intensive workouts. Reduce caffeine consumption before starting. Talk with family and others about what you are doing. I'm very interested in consulting Churches for their full potential when I retire in the future. Cityview Bible Church shows exactly how a church can prosper while focusing on the God's core messages and His mission. I would rank CBC one of top 1 percentile churches in the nation with the following reasons. 1) Engaging Worship Section, which I've never seen before 2) Seamless switching one after another section, 3) Bible focused, sermon with the big heart & knowledge by the priest; if you are looking a new church in a new city like me, I can't recommend CBC enough.
A great community and opportunities to serve.
I recently watched Pastor Ferguson's online sermon from August 17, 2025, where he discussed Jesus' confrontational stance against self-righteous religious leaders, emphasizing that true righteousness comes from God rather than human systems. Inspired by this message, I emailed him to ask about Cityview Bible Church's "Grounds for Dismissal" policy, which allows for the removal of members whose “actions, behaviors, or speech are deemed to oppose the church's purpose or doctrinal statements”. This seemed to me like a potential contradiction to the sermon's core theme—empowering church leaders with broad authority to silence dissent, much like the religious authorities Jesus challenged. In my email, I respectfully pointed out historical parallels, noting how religious leaders have often mislabeled prophets and reformers as heretics while believing they were safeguarding truth. I asked how Cityview's elders ensure they don't fall into the same trap of prioritizing institutional protection over open dialogue. Unfortunately, the response I received was formal and detached, defending the policy through the lens of their governance structure and theological framework. It reaffirmed the elders' subjective authority to expel members based on their judgement of scripture, without addressing the possibility of fallibility or inviting further discussion. This left me with the impression that the leadership operates under a "we know best" mindset, which felt very contradictory to the humility preached in the sermon. Also, after viewing a short clip from Cityview highlighting the importance of human connectivity and community, I had really expected my outreach would lead to an invitation to connect—perhaps a meeting or even a simple welcome to visit the church. That didn't occur, which raised questions about how consistently these values are applied in practice. Over the years, I've encountered similar patterns at various churches: dedicated members pour their time and energy into service, only to face defensiveness or exclusion when they raise challenging questions or express differing views. As someone with multiple research-based degrees, I've learned that even the experts with advanced degrees can be easily mistaken, even in theology, and that rigorous inquiry often strengthens understanding rather than threatens it. Professors, much like some Pastors or elders, can shun challenges to their authority and biblical understanding, but true growth comes from embracing them. Cityview may well be a welcoming, five-star community for those who align seamlessly with its doctrines. However, for anyone inclined to think critically, question interpretations, or use their own judgment, I get the strong impression it’s less open than the sermons suggest. I share this not out of malice, but in hopes it encourages caution, reflection and greater inclusivity at Cityview in the future.
Absolutely amazing and Christ-filled church - join and you will never regret it.
I love this church. I started coming here after divorce, as a single mom going through it, barely hanging in some weeks. It was how I came back to God. People were kind and welcoming but not pushy. The sermons go deep and aren’t dumbed down, worship is moving and everything is Christ-centered. There is a solid children’s ministry, tons of support groups and other opportunities to get involved. I’m now a member and love watching this church grow.
I'm trying new churches. This may be my church. Its a 35 min drive but so far, it's been nice.
Friendly first time visit
