Our Mission
Community. Excellence. Growth Mindset.
Through a Christ-centered biblical worldview, City Impact empowers and equips kids and families to rise above vulnerable circumstances, radically transforming into who God created them to be.
Our Story
About City Impact
No one ever said a ripple must be small, especially with the Divine. The ripple of our lives begins and ends with our Creator. God is in all things. A pebble, small and seemingly insignificant, tossed into a placid pond gently disrupts the stillness, causing a continuous cadence that increasingly vibrates outward.
A ripple is what City Impact seeks to emulate in our neighborhoods and beyond. We show youth and their families their God-given gifts and purpose so they, in turn, can empower others. It’s cause and effect at its best. We don’t just dip our toes in. We unleash a tidal wave of transformation.
The ripple of empowerment began over 30 years ago! In 1993, Brad and Carma took a step of faith, spending time with kids who needed love and hope. Check out this video that chronicles the early years of City Impact as the Bryans’ said yes to God’s calling of holistic Gospel ministry.
