WHAT IS CITY VISION?

ORGANIZATION: CV is a non-profit Christian ministry. CV has three ministry centers (Glocal Impact Center, City Reaching Center, and the Strategic Information Center) which work together in a complimentary manner with one another under the overall integrated umbrella of City Vision. Each ministry center is different with its own unique vision, goals, and ministry projects stemming from it. This flexible structure best allows CV to operate in a most effective strategic manner.

CORE MINISTRIES: Everything CV does is broken into the following 10 core ministry areas in which all the ministry activities of the three centers flow out of:
 

Immigrant/Unreached People Group Cross-Cultural Outreach and Church Planting- Somalis, Tibetans, Sikhs, Muslims, Short-term glocal missions trips, etc.

Church Planting- Coaching, planting, research, and models.
