What is about to come forth is greater then me or you, and the step toward the city church will begin. One major step toward the city church is city church networks. There can be more then one city church network within a giving city, however they must connect to each other.
The outward networking is sign of the inward networking through the body of Christ. City church networks are form on common ground, and a common vision for the city, and the church of the city. A city church network has a set vision with set visionary leading toward the ways of God for the city. This set vision is a corporate vision with corporate anointing for the city church.
A city church network will focus on ministries that impact the whole church of the city and the city church. Such as feeding the poor and wining the city to Christ. In addition, it will focus on prayer and intercession, and it will have continued prayer meetings for the city. A city church network is form through apostolic unity. Unity is not an end in itself instead it is an importation step toward other God giving goals.
Pastoral unity cannot bring us beyond a certain point in order to see out cities change for Christ. Only through apostolic unity we can step toward the other goals. Although, the city can be transform without unity after this is done unity will come. No matter what happen unity is a step that every city church must take to reach the God giving goals for you city and the church of the city.
What is the leadership of a city church network?
First and foremost it is a plurality of leadership. In addition, there is a set visionary, a set man. He or she is an apostle, a territorial apostle. There can be more then one territorial apostle working within a city church network. There can be more then one apostle apart of a city church network. Moreover, there is a set visionary an apostolic coordinator of the city church network and the plurality of its leadership.
Apostles are the gatekeepers of the city and the prophets are the watchmen of the city, meaning territorial prophets. Territorial apostles have past the test of territorial commitment before then can arise to the vision of the city. Territorial apostles will come from ether the pools of megachurch pastors, parachurch leaders, or marketplace apostles. On the contrary, there can be more then one city church network and there could be more then one-city apostle. Instead each city church network needs to connect to the vision of the church of the city.
Furthermore, the unity of the faith will come to the body of Christ. The city church will emerge forth and mature unlit the body of Christ is composed of city churches and regional churches throughout the world in every nation on earth.
