Connecting the Whole Church to Take the Whole Gospel to the Whole City
The City Impact Roundtable (CIR) has an annual national meeting and regional gatherings for grassroots involvement and implementation throughout the year.
CIR is a peer-to-peer meeting of Christian leaders who are prayerfully seeking the unity of the Church for holistic evangelism, the revival and renewal of the Church, leading to a cultural awakening and transformation.
CIR is affiliated with the Mission America Coalition, which is comprised of leaders from over 80 denominations, 300 servant ministry organizations and 50 ministry networks, each sharing the vision of bringing together "The whole Church to pray over and discuss how to collaborate in taking the whole Gospel to the whole City."
