Church Highlight: City Limits Church – Allentown, PA

City Limits Church, located in Allentown, Pennsylvania exists to develop a body of believers dedicated to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the World through: commitment, outreach, discipleship, and evangelism by rescuing the lost, equipping the found, and deploying the church for service.

City Limits Assembly of God was birthed in 1994 when God spoke to Rev. Jimmie Rivera to come back to the streets in a new way. Coming out of years of abuse, homelessness, and drug addiction, Pastor Jim’s salvation, education, and call brought him and his wife Debbie to the inner city streets of Allentown, PA. As he looked for a building, he discovered that a large church was for sale on the corner of Ridge and Chew. God opened the door and that began the ministry of City Limits Assembly of God here in Allentown.

Then and now, City Limits has been reaching out to their community by tangibly loving its people through block parties, giving out Christmas trees, turkey dinners at Thanksgiving, bicycles for kids, handing out food and water, even physically cleaning the streets. As much as they love doing all of that, they desire to connect with their community in a way that will impact lives for the long term.  Therefore, they share the Gospel of Jesus Christ by giving them opportunity to know the peace, love, acceptance and healing that only Jesus can give.

Please join us this week as we celebrate and lift up our friends at City :limits Assembly of God Church in prayer! We are excited about all God is doing and will continue to do in and through them!
