Urban Missionary : Network Developer

1429 Main Street East Hamilton, ON L8K 1C2

The focus of the Network Director (ND) is to grow and strengthen the TrueCity network by collaborating with Hamilton’s churches, laypeople, clergy, and charities. The ND will ensure that our mission drives all that we do or plan to do, and that all we do or plan to do supports our mission.

Overview of Church and Community

IN 2004 THREE CHURCHES CAME TOGETHER AROUND A DEEP DESIRE TO PURSUE KINGDOM INITIATIVES THAT WOULD WITNESS TO GOD’S LOVE FOR HAMILTON.

They shared a belief that we, the Church, are at our best when we respond to the Spirit’s invitation to join in the Jesus-way-of-life, pursuing justice, peace, compassion and relational holiness. In the Spring of that year we held the first TrueCity conference as a way to share stories, worship, and learn together. By the end of that first year three more churches had joined in and the TrueCity network was born.

Now there are fourteen congregations who are partnering with each other. Throughout our journey we have learned a great deal about the art and science of cultivating congregational collaboration in pursuit of collective mission and Church unity. We continue to gather yearly and celebrate the ways we see God at work in Hamilton and to tangibly live out scripture’s call to pursue the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Church Purpose | Mission Statement

• TrueCity is churches together for the good of the city. We recognize God’s calling for us to join Him in bringing God’s abundant life throughout our city. TrueCity seeks to simultaneously catalyze mission at a congregational level, at a collaborative churches-together level, and as God’s people scattered across all sectors of Hamilton. Participation in this network is a tangible way we choose to operationalize God’s call to Church unity. We do all of this that it may be in Hamilton as it is in heaven.
• TrueCity is not a denomination, nor does TrueCity seek to diminish or supplant denominational commitments of any church within the network. It is not the Mission of TrueCity to manage church health or doctrine, to direct churches in their discipleship, liturgical, or missional practices, to credential or discipline ministers, or to plant or close churches.
