Our STAFF & Board
THE WORK OF CITYNET ministries PERFORMED, LARGELY UNSEEN, BY A COMMITTED GROUP OF STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS WHO WORK TIRELESSLY TO SERVE IN THE URBAN CONTEXT.
Urban Ministry is not easy, but it certainly has its rewards. The ability to work together as a team, for the advancement of the Kingdom (big K, not little k) is of utmost importance and is its own reward. Together, we labor in love, side-by-side, and in the trenches, to share the Gospel with the world and to assist others to do the same.
