OUTREACH

We want to practice the way of Jesus.

And Jesus taught that the greatest commandment for those who follow Him contains two parts:

First, "Love the Lord God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."

And, "Love your neighbor as yourself."

That's why we're committed to being good neighbors - to those who live next door, and to those who live around the globe.

We desire to reach out to our neighbors, city, and world by developing partnerships and responding to opportunities to meet both practical and spiritual needs. Our value of Mission reflects our desire for each person to reach their individual sphere of influence, while we also come together to live on mission through collective outreach opportunities.

Pray for the work of God around the world - for the strength and encouragement of the laborers on the ground, for lives to be changed by the Gospel, and for Jesus to be glorified among the nations. 

Missionaries, ministry organizations, and churches rely on the financial support of people just like you to do the work God has called them to. Ask the Lord how He might want you to invest financially in his work around the world.

Partnership goes beyond just financial for us. It's about building a relationship that creates opportunity for support, encouragement, and impact, for both the organization and our community. We've chosen to focus on building deep relationships with a few partners, rather than spreading ourselves more thinly in many directions.

Mukti's goal is to see women and children find pathways to freedom. They partner with organizations around Asia that are on the frontlines helping to rescue and rehabilitate children that have experienced exploitation. Mukti's aftercare home provides holistic care to help survivors find a path to healing. City Church OTR takes a team annually to visit Mukti and provide support and encouragement to their teams.

Heart of the City is a new non-profit organization located in Over-the-Rhine that seeks to combat homelessness in the neighborhood by providing affordable housing and connecting residents with resources and social services to build a thriving life. Heart of the City is still in the forming stages and they hope to purchase property and select residents in 2026.

We believe deeply in the role of local churches in introducing people to Jesus, making disciples, and bringing more of God's Kingdom here on earth. City Church OTR would not have been possible without other churches and organizations that caught the vision for how a new church like us could impact Cincinnati. It's a privilege to invest in other church plants around the world and to support them in the ways we've been so blessed.

Starting new churches is one of the most effective ways for people to encounter Jesus, and new churches are needed now more than ever. Orchard Group connects church planters and generous partners to establish churches in cities around the world. City Church OTR was planted by Orchard in 2020. Having been deeply blessed by Orchard's investment in us, we give back to Orchard Group so that their work of planting churches can continue forward.

San Diego, California draws in people from across the country and around the world, and is particularly rich in the culture from Latin America and Asia. It is marked by its diverse micro-communities offering dozens of radically different cultures within close proximity. Furthermore, San Diego boasts a high number of college students per capita — more than 7 percent of the population is actively pursuing higher education.

Jake and Kaelia Vayda started Create Church in 2024 to reach this diverse and vibrant city with the good news of Jesus.

Dublin, Ireland’s influence on the global stage is booming. The city hosts the world’s leading tech companies, boasts the highest GDP per capita in Europe, and is home to 150,000 university students. Yet at the same time, Ireland is marked by spiritual disillusionment. Recent census figures indicate less than 1% of its population profess a personal relationship with Jesus.

Daniel and Deborah Malone are establishing Open House Church in 2025 so that more and more Dubliners would know Jesus.
