Discover your City Tours

"I learned more in one day from your tour then I have
in my four years of college."
-Tour Participant |
Interested in knowing your city better? Since 1996 over 5,000 people from
17 different states have experienced a Discover Your City Tour. Come and
join us on one of our eight different Discover Your City Tours and see for
yourself how our city has changed and how the Christian Church is responding.
Each of the eight different tours presents a different area of the city. You will
get a "hands-on" feel for what really is going on in the city. Focused prayer
is a part of every tour as well. Tours are an excellent way to both educate
and stimulate people to pray and serve as new "Glocal" (Global + Local =
Glocal) missionaries. Past Tours have resulted in new churches planted, more focused prayer for different people groups, unreached people groups reached,
partnerships formed between different churches/ministries, and new ministries
begun.
