Bright City Church
Bright City exists to help people take their next steop toward Christ. We do this by helping people experience restoration in the 3 key areas we experience brokenness as human beings: with God, with others, and in ourselves. In accordance with our vision to see people restored to one another, we are committed to being a multiethnic church.
As a faith community seeking to reflect the multiethnic family of God, we strongly encourage people of color to apply for this position.
