partner churches

City Life is a non-denominational Christian church plant of Morning Star Church in Lawrence, KS. Also included in our network of churches is Bluemont Church in Manhattan, KS and Community Church in Topeka, KS.

All four churches are united in our call to nurture diverse communities of Jesus followers that live to exemplify the Kingdom of God in every area of life.

We are also united in our passion to reach students on the college campus through our college ministry, Called to Greatness.

Beliefs

There is one God who is the eternal King, Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent - one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
Humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected His rule over us for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and is God's Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God's Kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today, in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man."
We are saved by God's grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
The sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit indwells those who follow Jesus and enables them to live holy and minister super-naturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is poured out on believers that they might have power to be witnesses.
The Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God's love, discipling the nations, baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.
Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death.
