CityLights projects draw hundreds of students each year from across the United States to St. Louis who come to learn to connect their heads, hearts and hands to the Gospel in the neediest neighborhoods in the City.

2000 years ago, a relationship with Jesus was far more than knowing answers to 'spiritual' questions or 'being religious'. It was the freedom to stand in His presence without shame and the power to embrace His purposes for the world.

CityLights is a ministry aimed at drawing collegians and grads towards a lifetime of doing justice and preaching grace - reconnecting hearts with hands, using one's careers, gifts and resources to live out the Gospel in the homes and neighborhoods of urban St. Louis - and the myriad of places they return to when they leave.
