Rediscovering the Art of Neighbouring
What if your neighbourhood became one of the primary places where your faith is lived out?
Join Citygate and the Centre for Missional Leadership for a six-session experiential course exploring discipleship, hospitality, and the art of neighbouring.
Jesus’ command to “love your neighbour” is one of the most familiar teachings in Scripture.
Many Christians are rediscovering the biblical call to love their neighbours through simple, everyday practices of presence, hospitality, and friendship. This renewed emphasis on what is often called neighbouring recaptures a vital dimension of discipleship and offers a meaningful path for living out the teachings of Jesus in the places we live, while inviting others to join us.
Rediscovering the Art of Neighbouring is a six-session experiential course that invites you to explore this way of life. Together, we’ll visit homes and neighbourhoods across Vancouver, hear stories from people intentionally cultivating lives of hospitality and community, explore the biblical and theological foundations of neighbouring, and practise rhythms that can reshape both your neighbourhood and your own spiritual life. Discover how the places you already inhabit can become places of belonging, friendship, and hope.
What You’ll Experience:
Visit homes and neighbourhoods where neighbouring is being intentionally practised.
Explore the biblical and theological foundations of neighbouring.
Learn from practitioners whose lives have been shaped by hospitality, community, and faithful presence.
